EPIC Firefly Luciferase and LRE
P. Pyralis
(E. coli optimised)
Description
This part is a translational unit for a mutant of the luciferase from the North American firefly (P. pyralis) as well as this species' luciferin regenerating enzyme (LRE). It is under the control of an Arabinose induced promoter (pBAD).
D-Luciferin has to be added to obtain light output.
The part is codon optimised for expression in E.coli.
