-This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
+The number of proteins related to luciferase is growing exponentially. They are a lot of enzymes very different involved in a lot of mechanisms such as biosynthesis of siderophores, of antibiotics, fatty acid:coenzyme A ligase, and so on...
+All the coenzyme A ligase show a very high level of similarity : indeed, each of these enzyme related to luciferase catalyze the adenylation of a carboxylic acid substrate using ATP-Mg2+ and then, the ligation of the activated carboxylic acid with an acceptor.
+That is why luciferase is more and more considered as coming from a common ancestor involved in this kind of reaction and the light production would only be a side effect of the reaction.
