Firefly Luminescence Reveals Pesticides
Luciferin synthesis and organophosphate detection by a luminescent enzymatic cascade
16-Mar-2022 -
A luminescence reaction modeled on fireflies can detect contamination with organophosphates with high sensitivity, ease, and low cost. At the center of this technology is a new enzymatic method for the synthesis of analogues of luciferin, the substance that makes fireflies glow. As reported by a ...
