Reference no: EM13343298

Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are If the overall of the coupled reaction is -6.80 , what is the equilibrium constant, , of the first reactions at 25 ? The for the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP is 31.6.
