A selenium analogue of firefly D-luciferin with red-shifted bioluminescence emission.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2012; (14): 3350-3
A selenium analogue of amino-D-luciferin, aminoseleno-D-luciferin, is synthesized and shown to be a competent substrate for the firefly luciferase enzyme. It has a red-shifted bioluminescence emission maximum at 600 nm and is suitable for bioluminescence imaging studies in living subjects.
