## Abstract One of the major mysteries regarding firefly bioluminescence is its pHβdependent multicolor variation. At basic pH, the emission is on the yellowβgreen region, whereas at acid pH, the light emission is observed on the red region of the visible spectrum. Theoretical calculations using de
The reaction rate of ATP-limited firefly luciferase-catalysed reactions, is affected by the presence o f detergents. Anionic detergents inhibit luciferase activity without causing significant enzyme inactivation during the reaction. Cationic detergents in- crease reaction rate several-fold w i t h a
