2) "Luciferin" -- As to firefly luciferin lu·cif·er·in
Pronunciation: -f(&-)r&n
Function: noun
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary, from Latin lucifer light-bearing
: any of various organic substances in luminescent organisms (as fireflies) that upon oxidation produce a virtually heatless light Pronunciation Symbols
This is a space-filling model of firefly luciferin. Color coding: yellow=sulfur; blue=nitrogen; black=carbon; red=oxygen; white=hydrogen. Luciferins (from the Latin lucifer, "light-bringing" [1]) are a class of light-emitting biological pigments found in organisms capable of bioluminescence. - 1 Types of luciferin
- 1.1 Firefly luciferin
- 1.2 Bacterial luciferin
- 1.3 Dinoflagellate luciferin
- 1.4 Vargulin
- 1.5 Coelenterazine

| Luciferins are a class of small-molecule substrate each for their corresponding proetin enzyme luciferase. Luciferins are oxidized in the presence of the enzyme luciferase to produce oxyluciferin and energy in the form of light. There are five general types of luciferins. This structural model of firefly luciferin is reversed (left to right) from the space-filling model shown above Firefly luciferin is the luciferin found in fireflies. It is the substrate of luciferase (EC 1.13.12.7) Bacterial luciferin is a type of luciferin found in bacteria, some squid and fish. It consists of a long-chain aldehyde and a reduced riboflavin phosphate. Dinoflagellate luciferin is a chlorophyll derivative and is found in dinoflagellates, which are often responsible for the phenomenon of nighttime ocean phosphorescence. A very similar type of luciferin is found in some types of euphausiid shrimp. Vargulin is found in certain deep-sea fish; specifically, ostracods and Poricthys. It is an imidazolopyrazine. Coelenterazine Coelenterazine is found in radiolarians, ctenophores, cnidarians, squid, copepods, chaetognaths, fish and shrimp. It is..."
