| 摘要 |
Methods and compositions are provided for improved kinetics of light production from luciferase activity in beetle luciferase-luciferin reactions. Thus, the invention provides methods, compositions and test kits for assaying samples for the presence of a beetle luciferase or, using a beetle luciferase-luciferin reaction, the presence of ATP. The invention also provides the complex of the coenzyme, Coenzyme A, a beetle luciferase and oxyluciferin in its exited state in the luciferase-luciferin reaction and luciferyl-CoA, the thioester of Coenzyme A and luciferin (D-(-)-2-(6'-hydroxy-2'-benzothiazolyl)- DELTA 2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid).
