Comprehensive and state-of-the-art, Bioluminescence Methods and Protocols brings together a collection of innovative methods for the use of luciferase and green fluorescent protein in analytical biochemistry, molecular toxicology, environmental monitoring, and cell-based assays. The contributors-all hands-on researchers who have perfected their protcols-illustrate these powerful methods with a wide variety of applications ranging from the analytical determination (titer) of specific molecules to the cellular detection of a wide range of pollutants, to microbiological detection and analysis, and the molecular biological manipulation of lux, luc, and gfp structural genes. Step-by-step methods for the construction of other recombinant organisms are also included.

Bioluminescence Methods and Protocols represents the state-of-the-art in luminescent assays. Its cutting-edge techniques, diversely illustrated applications, and detailed instructions will make it the standard reference for today’s investigators who want to adapt established techniques to their purposes or apply them to a wide range of clinical, microbiological, environmental, toxicological, and analytical problems.
