Anti-Luciferase, biotin conjugated, Photobacterium fischeri

Luciferase is an enzyme that catalyzes a light-emitting reaction and can be found in bacteria, algae, fungi, jellyfish, insects, shrimp, and squid, and the resulting light that these organisms produce is termed bioluminescence. Bacterial luciferase genes (luxA, luxB, luxC, luxD, and luxE), responsible for the light-emitting reaction (the lux genes) have been used in construction of bioreporters that emit a blue-green light with a maximum intensity at 490 nm.

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
