Factors affecting the Nd3+ (REE3+) luminescence of minerals
In this paper, possibilities and limits of the application of REE3+ luminescence (especially the Nd3+4F3/2 → 4I9/2 emission) as structural probe are evaluated. Important factors controlling the Nd3+ luminescence signal are discussed, including effects of the crystal-field, crystal orientation, structural state, and temperature. Particular attention was paid to the study of the accessory mineral...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of inhibition of firefly luminescence by local anesthetics.
The kinetics of the action of local anesthetics upon firefly luciferin and luciferase systems is presented. Clinical concentrations of local anesthetics inhibited this ATP-induced luminescence in a dose-dependent manner. From the effects of temperature and pH upon the inhibitory action of the local anesthetics, it is concluded that hydrophobic ligand-enzyme interaction is the predominant cause ...
متن کاملRegulatory factors affecting larval mosquito populations in container and pool habitats: implications for biological control.
Empirical studies have shown that populations of larval mosquitoes developing in ground pools are subjected to different mortality factors than populations developing in water-filled containers. In general, larvae in ground pools are limited by natural enemies whereas those in containers are limited by resource availability. Containers also are typically smaller than ground pools and lack appre...
متن کاملA Comparison of Transmitter and Synephrine on Luminescence Induction in the Firefly Larva
Smalley (1965) demonstrated that the adult firefly lantern can be classified as adrenergic with respect to a number of criteria established for vertebrate sympathetic junctions. The lantern luminesces in response to adrenaline and its analogues. Amphetamine acts indirectly to induce luminescence and fails in denervated lanterns. Reserpinized lanterns respond to adrenaline, but no longer to neur...
متن کاملOxyluciferin, a luminescence product of firefly luciferase, is enzymatically regenerated into luciferin.
The activity regenerating luciferin from the luminescent product oxyluciferin was found in the protein fraction of a lantern extract from Photinus pyralis. The protein, luciferin-regenerating enzyme (LRE), was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by successive column chromatography on Ultrogel AcA34, S-Sepharose FF, Q-Sepharose FF, TSKgel super Q 5pw and TSKgel G30...
