Description
Commonly known as the luciferin-luciferase reaction or luciferase assay, this reaction occurs when the luciferase enzyme converts luciferin into oxyluciferin to produce light in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Only when ATP is present will this reaction occur.
Known as the luciferin-luciferase reaction, it occurs when the luciferase enzyme converts luciferin into oxyluciferin to produce light. Only when ATP is present will this reaction occur. Since ATP is present in all living cells, including prokaryotes, it can be used as a microbial testing marker for contamination if a sample should not, under normal conditions, contain ATP.
