SOLVED: The enzyme called luciferase catalyzes the reaction that allows fireflies to emit light The first step in this reaction involves the substrate compound called luciferin , reacting with ATP. The luciferase enzyme has been crystallized bound to the product of this one-step reaction, as shown in the Pymol diagram below.

Science & Technology on Instagram: "Fireflies emit light due to a chemical reaction involving compounds called luciferin and luciferase in their abdomen. This bioluminescence process is used for purposes such as mating, hunting, and defense. The light pattern and frequency also play a role in species identification and communication. #Fireflies #Science #Light #Nature #Explore"
