+ | Luciferases are enzymes that catalyzes the light-producing chemical reactions of bioluminescent organisms, such as fireflies and bacteria. '''Photinus pyralis luciferase''', which is the specific luciferase protein found in the common eastern firefly, causes an enzymatic reaction between the enzyme (luciferase) and the substrate (luciferin). This reaction is an oxidation process with molecular oxygen and its conversion into chemical energy, which causes the bursts of light. | ||
