Objective: Look for an approximation to calculate luminescence from our three modules A first approach to model the production of light is the following: Luminescence= (Velocity of the catalysis reaction) * (Concentration of Luciferase) * (Luciferin/ Luciferin + km)* RLU The parameter RLU is a conversion factor that translates the number of moles of luciferin reacted into the RLU measurement by the instrument.
