✦ Synopsis

Bioluminescent properties of semi-synthetic aequorins containing coelenterazine analogues possessing fluoro group(s) on the 6-(4-hydroxyphenyl) group match the fluorescent behavior of the phenolate anions of the corresponding fluorinated coelenteramide analogues, indicating that the phenolate anion of coelenteramide is the light-emitter in aequorin bioluminescence.
