• Cat.No.: Luciferase-10V
• Product Overview: Native luciferase was purified from Vibrio fischeri. Partially purified, soluble extracts containing FMN-dependent luciferase and NADH- and NADPH-dependent FMN reductases. Produces light in a system containing FMN, NADH or NADPH, and n-decyl aldehyde.

Specification

• Description: Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes used in bioluminescence and is distinct from a photoprotein. The name is derived from Lucifer, the root of which means ""light-bearer"" (lucem ferre).
• Source: Vibrio fischeri
• Species: Vibrio fischeri
• Form: Partially purified lyophilized powder. Protein, ~40% biuret
• Applications: Luciferase from Vibrio fischeri has been used in a study to assess kinetics of light emission and oxygen consumption by bioluminescent bacteria. It has also been used in a study to investigate the sensitivity of dark mutants of various strains of luminescent bacteria to reactive oxygen species.
• Storage: ?20°C
