• Step 3ATP sulfurylase converts PPi to ATP in the presence of adenosine 5'phosphosulfate (APS). This ATP drives the luciferase-me<strong>di</strong>atedconversion of luciferin to oxyluciferin that generates visible light inamounts that are proportional to the amount of ATP. The lightproduced in the luciferase-catalyzed reaction is detected by a chargecoupled device (CCD) chip and seen as a peak in the raw data output(Pyrogram). The height of each peak (light signal) is proportional tothe number of nucleotides incorporated.
