Hello everyone!

A friend of mine is writing a (pretty important) work for school about the bioluminescence of mushrooms at the example of panellus stipticus.

Now she tried to find out the chemical formula for the luciferine-luciferqase-reaction of this mushroom. I searched in every source known to me, but I haven't been able to find anything.



If you have searched in every source you know, but don’t give us any
idea of what they are, you make it difficult for us to respond. Some
people say that and have not even tried either google or their
reference librarian. So... first, try google, and your reference
librarian. In particular, there are specialized databases available
that univ libraries usually subscribe to for searching such things.
I’d use BIOSIS in this case, but you need to use whatever your univ
has.


I'm no Biology student and have never heard of Biosis, but I'm gonna try and find out what it is and how it can help me... :-)
Although many people seem to think that posting into a newsgroup is the first thing I do, I really HAVE searched through google. There seems to be one good article on Wiley Interscience, but I just cant figure out how to get it yet (cause I don't have any registration).
All othe rthings I've found are either not appropriate or just too "simple" to use ("Bioluminescence is when organisms glow in the dark").
I'm gonna keep looking, but till now I haven't found what I'm looking for.

You can also try scirus or google scholar online, but they are not as
through as BIOSIS. You can try Medline; it's coverage is often
surprisingly broad. It's there and free, so use it.


Gonna try this, too...

Don't be too surprised if it is not known. In that case, if helpful,
you can give examples from a couple of other organisms to illustrate
the idea.
