The results indicated that hydroxylation on the B-ring of flavonols significantly enhanced their binding affinity to SPI through static quenching, primarily driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, whereas methylation reduced it. Consequently, the binding affinity followed the order of Myr, Kae, Gal, and Kaem. Key functional findings demonstrated a structure–activity relationship: The hydroxyl or methoxy group in B-ring substantially enhanced antibacterial activity in the determination of colony counts. However, for antifungal activity against <i>Gibberella zeae</i> (<i>GZ</i>) and <i>Physalospora piricola</i> (<i>PP</i>), B-ring hydroxylation was unfavorable, whereas methylation was beneficial. Consequently, Gal shows the best antifungal ability, followed by Kaem, Kae, and Myr.

Most luminescent organisms emit light through a set of luminescent systems. Some luminescent organisms possess an additional antenna protein that can receive energy from the former luminescent system. And the BL is emitted by the antenna protein. Inspired by these natural phenomena, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) has been widely exploited to overcome the limitations of native BL, particularly the intensity and short-wavelength emission that restrict deep-tissue imaging. This review summarizes the fundamental mechanisms of ET in representative natural BL systems, combining insights from experimental and theoretical studies. We then conclude recent advances in engineering BRET systems by coupling luciferases with fluorescent proteins, organic dyes, and nanomaterials to achieve brighter and red-shifted emissions, extending into the near-infrared II (NIR-II) region.
