WHAT DOES LUCIFERASE MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Luciferase

Luciferases are enzymes that catalyze biological reactions by transforming chemical energy into light energy. Like all enzymes, luciferase has high specificity to its substrate, increases the speed and decreases the activation energy of the reaction, has high catalytic activity and is not consumed in the process. The Enzymes Commission of the International Union of Biochemistry classified luciferase in the group of Oxirredutases, which are enzymes that catalyze oxidation reactions between two substrates. The catalysis performed by luciferase acts in the bioluminescence process. Luciferase occurs predominantly in marine organisms; in the terrestrial environment it is found mainly in the class of insects, which is the richest in bioluminescent species. Luciferase is found in about 2000 species in the orders Diptera, Collembola and mainly Coleoptera. The first purification of insect luciferase occurred in the 1950s, being the North American lamina Photinus pyralis. To about 20 years the cDNA for the luciferase of this firefly. was cloned, sequenced and the primary structure of the protein was deduced.
