The goal of this project is to undertand this biochemical                       mechanism and biological function of bioluminescence, that is,                  to delineate the mechanism involved in the conversion of                        chemical energy into light energy and to elucidate the roles of                 luminescence in the physiology of the organisms.  To achieve                    this goal it is essential to determine the chemical structures                  of the key substances involved in the bioluminescent reactions                  that occur in diverse types of organisms.                                                                                                                       The specific aims of the project in the next three years are:                   (1) to investigate fungal luminescence, including the                           determination of the structure of fungal luciferin, using                       Panellus stipticus, (2) to complete current studies in                          progress, including structural work on the fluorescent                          substance F of euphasolids, the chromophores of the                             photoproteins of the millipede Luminodesmus and the brittle                     star Ophiopsilla, and the green fluorescent protein of                          Aequorea.
