| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chemical and biological analyses of the chromophore of a photoprotein (pholasin) were performed in order to clarify the detailed structure of the chromophore, and the following results were obtained: 1) 13C-labled dehydrocoelenterazine (DCL) was synthesized. 2) Apo-protein was obtained by cloning and expression of the DNA of the photoprotein. 3) Non-natural DCL analogs, which gave more active substance than natural DCL, were designed and synthesized. From these results, the further progress of this research will be expected.
