DE   Photinus-luciferin 4-monooxygenase (ATP-hydrolyzing).
AN   Firefly luciferase.
AN   Luciferase.
AN   Photinus pyralis luciferase.
CA   Photinus luciferin + O(2) + ATP = oxidized Photinus luciferin + CO(2) +
CA   AMP + diphosphate + light.
CC   -!- Photinus (firefly) is a bioluminescent insect.
CC   -!- The first step in the reaction is the formation of an acid anhydride
CC       between the carboxylic group and AMP, with the release of
CC       diphosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme may be assayed by measurement of light emission.
