Cloning of the Orange Light-Producing Luciferase from Photinus scintillans-A New Proposal on how Bioluminescence Color is Determined.

abstract：:Tetraarylporphyrins substituted with nitro groups at beta-pyrrolic positions are potential candidates for electron-accepting pigments in model systems for photosynthesis. The photophysics of 2-nitro-5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolylporphyrin and its zinc analog have been studied in order to evaluate this potential. The ground ...
