Complex bioluminescence spectra of photoproteins from marine coelenterates – jellyfish Aequorea victoria and hydroid Obelia longissima, and photoluminescence spectra of the bioluminescent reaction products (Ca 2+-discharged photoproteins) were deconvolved into components. The bioluminescence spectra...
