Chaetopterus photoprotein: crystallization and cofactor requirements for bioluminescence.

O Shimomura, F H Johnson.   

Abstract

The Chaetopterus photoprotein has been isolated in an amorphous form (molecular weight, 120,000) whlich in (NH(4))(2)SO(4) sollutionl converts to a crystalline form (molecular weight, 184,000) having the same specific light-emittinig activity; quantum yields are 0.0093 and 0.0143, respectively. Two new cofactor reqluirements have been separated fronm impure extracts: a macromnolecule resembling a nucleoprotein, and a lipid-like substance.
