[[Luciferase]] (Luc) is an oxidative enzyme used in bioluminescence. It catalyzes the oxidation of the pigment luciferin producing oxyluciferin and light. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Luc, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of firefly Luciferase ([[3iep]]). See detailed analysis of [[Luciola cruciata luciferase]] and [[Luciferase FMN complex- Vibrio harveyi]]. | [[Luciferase]] (Luc) is an oxidative enzyme used in bioluminescence.
