In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Robust Light Emission from Cyclic Alkylaminoluciferin Substrates for Firefly Luciferase, published in 2010-10-06, which mentions a compound: 2407-11-6, mainly applied to emission cyclic alkylaminoluciferin substrate firefly luciferase, COA of Formula: C7H3ClN2O2S.
Firefly luciferase utilizes the chem. energy of ATP and oxygen to convert its substrate, D-luciferin, into an excited-state oxyluciferin mol. Relaxation of this mol. to the ground state is responsible for the yellow-green light emission. Synthetic cyclic alkylaminoluciferins that allow robust red-shifted light emission with the modified luciferase Ultra-Glo are described. Overall light emission is higher than that of acyclic alkylaminoluciferins, aminoluciferin, and the native substrate D-luciferin.
I hope my short article helps more people learn about this compound(2-Chloro-6-nitrobenzo[d]thiazole)COA of Formula: C7H3ClN2O2S. Apart from the compound(2407-11-6), you can read my other articles to know other related compounds.
