There is provided a process of inducing luminescent emission from a luciferase bioluminescent reaction particularly useful in binding assays. A luciferase bioluminescent combination, together with an inactive, caged trigger compound such as a cofactor, is subjected to photonic radiation, so as to release the trigger compound in active form, and thereby cause substantially instantaneous reaction of the active trigger compound so released with the luciferase combination, to induce photonic emission which can be detected and measured. |
