  1.13.12.8 | Watasenia luciferin + O2 = oxidized Watasenia luciferin + CO2 + hnu |
the luciferase catalyzes the oxidation of luciferin to produce the light emitter after thermolysis of the peroxide intermediate. The light is produced via an ATP-dependent luciferin-luciferase reaction involving oxygen molecule and Mg2+. The oxygenation reaction occurs with a single electron-transfer (SET) mechanism. The luciferin of Watasenia scintillans is a disulfonate derivative of coelenterazine, i.e. coelenterazine disulfonate.
