NiceZyme View of ENZYME: EC 1.13.12.7

Accepted Name
Photinus-luciferin 4-monooxygenase (ATP-hydrolyzing).
Alternative Name(s)
Firefly luciferase.
Luciferase.
Photinus pyralis luciferase.
Reaction catalysed
Photinus luciferin + O(2) + ATP <=> oxidized Photinus luciferin + CO(2) + AMP + diphosphate + light
Comment(s)
  • Photinus (firefly) is a bioluminescent insect.
  • The first step in the reaction is the formation of an acid anhydride between the carboxylic group and AMP, with the release of diphosphate.
  • The enzyme may be assayed by measurement of light emission.
