A New Method for Albuminuria Measurement Using a Specific Reaction between Albumin and the Luciferin of the Firefly Squid <i>Watasenia scintillans</i>

This study demonstrates that the luciferin of the firefly squid <i>Watasenia scintillans</i>, which generally reacts with <i>Watasenia</i> luciferase, reacted with human albumin to emit light in proportion to the albumin concentration. The luminescence showed a peak wavelengt...
