Abstract

Studies on the catalytic properties of firefly luciferase have indicated that the differences in the colors of the light emitted from various species are due to differences in the structures of the enzymes. In addition, the effect on the color of the in vitro light emission of pH, temperature, and various salts as well as of modifications in the structure of the substrates suggests that the strength and nature of the binding of the transient emitter to the enzyme are important factors in determining the allowed electronic transistions for light emission.
