Abstract
The invention provides active, non-naturally occurring mutants of beetle luciferases and DNAs which encode such mutants. A mutant luciferase of the invention differs from the corresponding wild-type luciferase by producing bioluminescence with a wavelength of peak intensity that differs by at least 1 nm from the wavelength of peak intensity of the bioluminescence produced by the wild-type enzyme. The mutant luciferases and DNAs of the invention are employed in various biosensing applications.
