...This luminescence is different from phosphorescence and fluorescence, which only glow when exposed to a certain light, and is caused by a 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. The luminescence reaction of the chelonian worm and some jellyfish is different from the L-L reaction in that metal ions react with the photoprotein to produce light without the need for oxygen. ... *Some of the terminology that mentions "Harvey, EN" is listed below.

…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。ツバサゴカイやある種のクラゲの発光反応はL‐L反応と異なり発光タンパクphotoproteinに金属イオンが作用して酸素を必要とせずに発光する。… ※「Harvey,E.N.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
