Abstract (EN):
(Chemical Equation Presented) Shedding light on luciferase: Luciferyl coenzyme A (1) was synthesized and it was found that luciferase catalyzes light production from luciferyl coenzyme A and AMP. The results of this study open perspectives for new bioanalytical methods and are strong evidence for the evolutionary relationship between firefly luciferase and acyl-CoA synthetases. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
