Abstract
A bioluminescent protein, aequorin, isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea in dilute disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution, emits light on addition specifically of Ca ++ or Sr ++ , thus providing the basis for a simple, quantitative micromethod for the determination of these cations, especially in biological fluids.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
