EPIC Firefly Luciferase (under pBAD)
P. Pyralis
(E. coli optimised)


This part is a translational unit for a mutant of the luciferase from the North American firefly (P. pyralis). It is under the control of an Arabinose induced promoter (pBAD). D-Luciferin has to be added to obtain light output.

EPIC stands for Enhanced Photon Initiating Complex. It is described in [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17540326 Fujii et al. 2007] as having a 10 times higher substrate affinity and luminescence output compared to wildtype.

The part is codon optimised for expression in E.coli.
