[[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. | [[Luciferase]] is a class of enzymes producing light through the process of bioluminescence.
