==Introduction==


[[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.
