- Chemical Classification: FMN-dependent bioluminescent monooxygenase enzyme, bioluminescence reporter reagent, biochemical detection raw material
- Core Advantages
Natural luminescent enzyme isolated from luminous marine bacteria (Vibrio fischeri, Vibrio harveyi). Catalyzes oxidation of long-chain fatty aldehydes with reduced FMN and molecular oxygen to emit blue-green bioluminescence at 490 nm. High signal linearity, low background interference, stable lyophilized powder form. Widely applied in microbial rapid detection, reporter gene assays, ATP quantification, drug screening and biosensor construction.
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: White to pale yellow lyophilized crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Freely soluble in neutral aqueous buffer; insoluble in acetone, ethanol, organic solvents
- Optimum Reaction Temperature: 20–28 °C
- Optimum pH: 6.8–7.8
- Storage Temperature: Long-term -20 °C; short-term 2–8 °C
- Hygroscopy: Strongly hygroscopic, must be sealed against moisture

2.2 Chemical Properties
- Heterodimer structure: Composed of α catalytic subunit and β auxiliary subunit, FMN as coenzyme prosthetic group
- Catalytic reaction: FMNH2 + RCHO + O2 → FMN + RCOOH + H2O + light (490 nm)
- Thermal lability: Irreversibly denatured above 40 °C; high temperature completely loses luminescent activity
