摘要
Significant advances have occurred regarding our knowledge of firefly luciferase mechanisms. Although most of this progress was an outcome of molecular biology and structural studies, important achievements have also occurred on its fundamental chemistry. Those developments are here summarized and presented in a historical perspective.
