GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
Chemoluminescence (or chemiluminescence) is the luminescence (light emission)
generated as the result of direct transformation of chemical energy into light
energy without showing a corresponding degree of heat. When the reactants are
oxidized in the presence of catalysts, they yield intermediate complexes which
get rid of the extra energy quickly in the form of light (ultraviolet, visible,
or infrared) photons to become a lower energy level products. Luminol
(3-Aminophthalhydrazide) is a chemoluminescent dye. It is used for biological
detection of metal cations and blood. The iron in haemoglobin acts as a catalyst
to accelerate the process. Luciferins are bioluminescence emitting light
pigments originated by an organism like bacteria, fungi, fireflies and deep sea
fish. Enzymes and proteins associated with bioluminescence have been developed
for biomedical research. Coelenterazine, substrate for luciferase and
photoprotein, is used as a intracellular luminophore as to measure changes in
oxide and Ca2+ levels in aequorin cells. Fluorescence such as fluorescein
undergoes light-emission processes, but the energy source is light absorption
from an external source.
