Light emission in the fireflies is the product of a reaction catalysed by an enzyme named luciferase. The product of this reaction is the oxyluciferin, which in turn emits visible light. Scientists studied the interplay between the structural and absorption properties of oxyluciferins with an unprecedented level of accuracy.
