Abstract
- The correlation between O2â and firefly luciferin chemiluminescence was studied.
- Firefly luciferin can inhibit the formation of O2â in DMSO by protonating tert-BuOâ.
- This is not enough to explain the consumption of O2â in chemiluminescence solutions.
- It is concluded that O2â has a role in firefly luciferin chemiluminescence.
