Bioluminescence is the emission of visible light by living organisms and is typically produced by the oxidation of a light emitting molecule - generically called luciferin - in conjunction with a catalyzing enzyme, luciferase. Additionally, in some bioluminescent organisms, this process involves the binding of the luciferin to a "photoprotein" in order for light to be produced. A photopro…
