LL reaction - LL reaction

Japanese: L-L 反応 - えるえるはんのう
LL reaction - LL reaction

…Bioluminescence is the emission of light by living organisms with almost no heat and extremely high efficiency (97%), and is considered to be the emission of energy by the oxidation reaction of organic compounds, which is far more efficient than current artificial lighting and artificial chemiluminescence. This luminescence is distinct from phosphorescence and fluorescence, which only glow when exposed to a certain amount of light, and is produced by the reaction (called the L-L reaction) between heat-stable luciferin and unstable luciferase. The L-L reaction was discovered by Harvey EN Harvey in 1916, and firefly luciferin was isolated from the firefly Photuris pyralis by McElroy WD McElroy and others in 1957. …

…生物発光はほとんど熱を伴わないきわめて効率の高い光(効率97%)を生物が発することであり,現在の人工照明,人工的化学発光の効率をはるかに越える有機化合物の酸化反応によるエネルギー放射とみなされる。この発光はある光線が照射されている間だけ光るリン光や蛍光と区別され,熱に安定なルシフェリンluciferinと不安定なルシフェラーゼluciferaseと呼ばれる物質の反応(L‐L反応と呼ばれる)により生じる。L‐L反応は1916年にハーベーE.N.Harveyにより発見され,ホタルルシフェリンは1957年にマッケルロイW.D.McElroyらによりPhoturis pyralisというホタルから単離された。…
