Description:
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.
