Luciferase is an enzyme found in the firefly that causes the luminescence reaction to occur.
Draw the structure of luciferin (similar to luminol) that is used in the reaction for luciferase. Draw the product of luciferin AFTER it reacted with luciferase and delivered light include the enol/keto tautomer and indicate which one you would expect to be more significant.
In the chemiluminescent reaction of Firefly Luciferin, what is meant by the comment that the Luciferin must be “primed” by ATP?

Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are 1.2.luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPiΔG∘=−31.6 kJ/mol If the overall ΔG∘ of the coupled reaction is -8.80 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reaction at 6 ∘C ? Express your answer numerically.
