This book is an authoritative monograph on the recent progresses in
the chemistry of bioluminescence. It provides a comprehensive
overview of the past and the latest developments in understanding
the biochemical mechanisms of some 35 different types of luminous
organisms, together with information helpful to students and
researchers in an Appendix. It is the first and only book that
provides chemical information on all currently known
bioluminescence systems. Dr Shimomura is the leading practitioner
in the field for the past half century, and is best known for his
discovery of the jellyfish photoprotein aequorin and the green
fluorescent protein. This book is the bible of bioluminescence, and
is "a must read," not only for the students who study
bioluminescence but also for those who work in various aspects
relating to bioluminescence. This book will be an important source
of chemical knowledge on bioluminescence for a long period of time
in future. Fully revised since its publication in 2006, it now
incorporates the most recent advances in the subject area. A new
section on "Green Fluorescent Protein" has been added at the end of
Chapter 4. It contains an extensive reference section.
