Progress is reported on studies of molecular mechanisms involved in bioluminescent reactions in fireflies, in purified calcium-activated photoproteins from marine microorganisms, and in marine dinoflagellates. The role of luciferase binding protein mechanisms in photon-stimulated bioluminescence is discussed. The use of chemiluminescence as an assay technique for nicotine in tobacco smoke and carcinogenic hydrocarbons in environmental samples is proposed and the requirements for such an assay system are reviewed.
