A bioluminescent single photon bioreactor for performing absolute quantification of light-producing activity by enzymes includes: a bioreactor that produces a bio-electronic signal; an electronic sensor that receives the bio-electronic signal and produces an electrical transduction signal; and an analyzer that receives the electrical transduction signal and absolutely quantifies light-producing activity by enzymes from the electrical transduction signal, such that the absolute quantification is accomplished quantum mechanically by determination of a second order autocorrelation function.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for the assembly of a bioluminescent complex from two or more non-luminescent (e.g., substantially non-luminescent) peptide and/or polypeptide units. In particular, bioluminescent activity is conferred upon a non-luminescent polypeptide via structural complementation with another, complementary non-luminescent peptide.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising and methods of producing genetically engineered bacteriophages, bacteriophage-like particles and non-replicating transduction particles (NRTPs) that contain non-native tail fibers that display altered host specificity and/or reactivity. The present invention also relates to methods of using these bacteriophages and NRTPs for the development of novel diagnostics, therapeutics and/or research reagents for bacteria-related diseases.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for detecting genomic sequences of interest in living cells. In particular, the present disclosure provides a split-enzyme system that works with guide RNAs and RNA-guided nucleases to produce detectable luminescent signals exclusively in the presence of targeted genomic sequences.
