A puzzling homology: a brittle star using a putative cnidarian-type luciferase for bioluminescence [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Bioluminescence relies on the oxidation of a luciferin substrate catalysed by a luciferase enzyme. Luciferins and luciferases are generic terms used to describe a large variety of substrates and enzymes.

Leaving the Dark Side? Insights Into the Evolution of Luciferases
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Bioluminescence—i.e., the emission of visible light by living organisms—is defined as a biochemical reaction involving, at least, a luciferin substrate, an oxygen derivative, and a specialised luciferase enzyme.

Expanding luciferase reporter systems for cell-free protein expression
Scientific Reports, 2022 Luciferases are often used as a sensitive, versatile reporter in cell-free transcription-translation (TXTL) systems, for research and practical applications such as engineering genetic parts, validating genetic circuits, and biosensor outputs. Currently,
