When we use the luciferase as a reporter of the tumor volume in mice,it cayalyze luciferin to produce light.But after then ,does luciferase need to be re-activated to catalyze another round of luciferin ?
l
uciferase + luciferin + ATP + Mg⇔luciferase · luciferin–AMP + Ppi
luciferase · luciferin–AMP + O2→luciferase · oxyluciferin* + AMP + CO2
