  • Modified/mutant bacterial luciferases
    Patent number: 11788068
    Abstract: Modified or mutant bacterial luciferases having improved activity, as compared to wild type or unmodified bacterial luciferases, are described. The modified or mutant bacterial luciferases display increased light production and/or slower signal decay. Employing these modified or mutant bacterial luciferases improve a luminescence reporter system assay by increasing the detection sensitivity, resulting in improved bioreporter/reporter assays. The invention further provides methods for using the modified or mutant bacterial luciferases, reporter assays using the modified or mutant bacterial luciferases, and kits and articles of manufacture.
