摘要：1,N6-Ethenoadenosine triphosphate ({varepsilon}-ATP) has been found to be inactive as a substrate for firefly luciferase. However, chemically synthesized luciferyl-{varepsilon}AMP is oxidized by luciferase and light is emitted. The color of the light is red in contrast to the normal yellow-green observed with luciferyladenylate. Although {varepsilon}ATP will not serve as a substrate in the activation reaction, the reversal of the activation, pyrophosphorolysis of dehydroluciferyladenylate, will occur with the ethenoadenosine analog.
