General description

Firefly luciferase is one of the most utilized reporter genes for the study of gene expression.[1] It is an extremely sensitive, rapid, and easy-to-use reporter gene. The chemiluminescent reaction catalyzed by luciferase is one of the most sensitive analytical tools for measuring gene expression. The luciferase substrate contains coenzyme A for increased and sustained luminescence compared to conventional methods.[2] This eliminates the need for automated luminometer injection of the substrate and allows analysis by photographic film or scintillation counting. The lysis buffer contains polymyxin B which further enhances the signal and eliminates lysozyme treatment and freeze-thawing of cells. Cell lysis buffer is compatible with β-galactosidase assays. The enzyme encoded by the luciferase reporter gene catalyzes the oxidation of D-luciferin in the presence of ATP, oxygen, and Mg2+. The fluorescent product is quantified to measure its activity.[2]

    Circadian clocks were, until recently, seen as a consequence of rhythmic transcription of clock components, directed by transcriptional/translational feedback loops (TTFLs). Oscillations of protein modification were then discovered in cyanobacteria. Canonical posttranslational signaling processes have known importance for clocks across

    Bioluminescent Firefly Luciferase Assays

    Firefly luciferase is a widely used bioluminescent reporter for studying gene regulation and function. It is a very sensitive genetic reporter due to the absence of endogenous luciferase activity in mammalian cells or tissues.

    Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
