Siberian Federal University

The research was conducted in three basic interconnected areas devoted to advanced scientific knowledge and results, the new academic programs and products in (methods, technologies, instruments):

• Molecular-cellular organization of bioluminescent systems of various organisms;
• Development of high-efficiency analytical bioluminescent technologies and their application in biology, medical diagnosis and environmental monitoring environment;
• Development of bioluminescence-phenomenon-based educational programs. The leading international and Russian scientists having advanced experience in the areas mentioned above as well as a great number of graduate and postgraduate students from the SibFU and other Russian universities were involved in the research.

Supervises research is Osamu Shimomura — The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008.

The main fundamental results are:

• new chemical structure definition: the luciferin for bioluminescent system of enchytraeids Frederica heliota was specified and synthesized;
• localization of structure elements responsible for bioluminescence of higher fungi;
• evidence for key role of the water molecule in emitter formation inside photoproteins.
