Triggering mechanism on the symplectin bioluminescence by reactive oxygen species

对光蛋白的触发机制进行了研究。光蛋白具有由脱氢胆肠嗪（DCL）组成的发色团。结果表明，铁离子的氧配合物使其发光速度快，次氯酸盐的过氧化物使其发光速度慢。这个特定的反应速率被证明对利用光蛋白鉴定活性氧是有用的。建立了一种简便的合成方法，可制备多种dcl。

Triggering mechanism of photoproteins has been investigated. The photoproteins have chromophore which is constituted from dehydrocoelenterazine (DCL). It demonstrated that oxo-complex of Fe ion made the luminescence speed fast, on the other hand, peroxide of hypochlorite made the luminescence speed slow. This specific reaction rate was proved to be useful for the identification of reactive oxygen species by using photoproteins. A convenient synthetic method was also established to prepare many kinds of DCLs.
