	[[Luciferase]] is a class of enzymes producing light through the process of bioluminescence. ~~This luciferase was extracted from~~ [~~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciola_cruciata~~ Luciola cruciata]~~. In the case of fireflies~~, it catalyses a reaction of adenylation and then an oxydative decarboxylation, changing luciferin to oxyluciferin and thus emitting light.		[[Luciferase]] is a class of enzymes producing light through the process of bioluminescence. [[Luciola cruciata luciferase]], or Japanese firefly luciferase, catalyses a reaction of adenylation and then an oxydative decarboxylation, changing luciferin to oxyluciferin and thus emitting light.
	This protein is constituted of two main domains separated by a cleft.		This protein is constituted of two main domains separated by a cleft.
