Firefly luciferase, of the common eastern firefly (''Photinus pyralis''), is responsible for the ability of the firefly to exhibit bioluminescence. The enzyme luciferin-4-monoxygenase, which catalyzes a multistep oxidative decarboxylation of the luciferyl-AMP intermediate (LH<sub>2</sub>-AMP) to produce bioluminescence, is a part of the ANL superfamily named so after the '''a'''cyl-CoA syntheses, the adenylation domains of the modular '''n'''on-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPs), and '''l'''uciferase. | Firefly luciferase, of the common eastern firefly (''Photinus pyralis''), is responsible for the ability of the firefly to exhibit bioluminescence.
