Abstract
J. Woodland Hastings, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003, reports in his Inaugural Article in this issue of PNAS on the structure of the luciferase gene in Noctiluca scintillans, one of the largest and most primitive bioluminescent dinoflagellates (1). Hastings' work shows that Noctiluca's luciferase possesses domains for both catalysis and substrate binding, whereas in some previously described dinoflagellate species, these domains occur as separate proteins.
