Abstract excerpt

The firefly bioluminescence reaction, which uses luciferin, Mg-ATP, and molecular oxygen to yield an electronically excited oxyluciferin, is carried out by luciferase and visible light is emitted. The bioluminescence color of firefly luciferases is determined by the luciferase structure and assay conditions. Among different beetle luciferases, those from Phrixothrix railroad worm emit either yellow or red...
