And those oxygen molecules react to luciferin, catalyzed with the help of luciferase and energy in the form of ATP. The luciferin then becomes agitated and excited, elevating its energy level.

A substance called luciferin is oxidized using the catalyst enzyme luciferase, magnesium ions and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to produce oxyluciferin and energy in the form of light. Although ...

Luciferase is a bioluminescence producing enzyme of firefly that produces light when it catalyzes the oxidation of D-luciferin in the presence of oxygen, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and ...
