Chimeric fungal–firefly luciferins exhibit red shifted fungal bioluminescence
A rational design of new luciferins based upon the combination of luciferins from different lineages is exemplified by the synthesis of chimeric luciferins from a combination of fungal and firefly luciferin. Two new chimeric fungal-firefly luciferins exhibited the furthest red shifted bioluminescence of a fungal luciferin analogue.
