Carbon fixation is the process by which CO2 is converted from a gas into biomass. The
Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle (CBB) is the dominant carbon-consuming pathway on …

The photorespiratory repair pathway (photorespiration in short) was set up from ancient
metabolic modules about three billion years ago in cyanobacteria, the later ancestors of …

RuBisCO‐catalyzed CO2 fixation is the main source of organic carbon in the biosphere. This
enzyme is present in all domains of life in different forms (III, II, and I) and its origin goes back …

Enzymatic carbon dioxide fixation is one of the most important metabolic reactions as it
allows the capture of inorganic carbon from the atmosphere and its conversion into organic …

Rhodopseudomonas palustris is an attractive option for biotechnical applications and
industrial engineering due to its metabolic versatility and its ability to catabolize a wide …

CO 2 is converted into biomass almost solely by the enzyme rubisco. The poor carboxylation
properties of plant rubiscos have led to efforts that made it the most kinetically characterized …

Metagenomic studies recently uncovered form II/III RubisCO genes, originally thought to only
occur in archaea, from uncultivated bacteria of the candidate phyla radiation (CPR). There …

Oligomerization is a core structural feature that defines the form and function of many
proteins. Most proteins form molecular complexes; however, there remains a dearth of …

Abstract In photosynthesis Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco)
catalyses the often rate limiting CO2-fixation step in the Calvin cycle. This makes Rubisco …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) is responsible for
almost all biological CO2 assimilation, but forms inhibited complexes with its substrate …
