| 20100003701 | COVALENT MODIFICATION AND CONJUGATION OF LUCIFERASE - A process for reversible chemical modification of the luciferase, a process for the covalent conjugation of a reversibly modified luciferase to a chemical moiety (a protein or a binding partner such as biotin or an antibody), a process for reactivation of the reversibly-modified and inactivated luciferase, a process for making the said luciferase conjugates and a bioluminescent assay method that uses covalently conjugated firefly luciferase are taught. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising a reversibly modified luciferase, as well as a composition comprising a reversibly modified luciferase covalently conjugated to a chemical moiety. | 01-07-2010 |
