Useful:

• Description: Luciferase (firefly recombinant) is a light-generating enzyme that catalyzes an oxidative reaction, using luciferin, ATP, and molecular oxygen to produce oxyluciferin, which yields visible light. The bioluminescence of this ATP-dependent luciferase is commonly used in reporter systems that are amenable to high-throughput screening.
• Uses: Firefly luciferase is used extensively in molecular and cell biology, in particular for the efficient detection and quantitation of ATP and as a reporter for genetic function. Luciferase from Photinus pyralis (firefly) has been used as a component of lysis solution to measure luminescence signals, as part of the study to determine chemical signals which can activate the karrikin insensitive 2 (KAI2) pathway.
