Rubisco molecule. Computer model showing the structure of tobacco ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) with the long chain (cyan)


Rubisco molecule. Computer model showing the structure of tobacco ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) with the long chain (cyan), the small chain (magenta) and the residue 2-carboxyarabinitol-1,5-diphosphate (orange-red). RuBisCO is an enzyme that aids carbon fixation - the conversion of inorganic carbon from forms such as carbon dioxide to organic compounds by living organisms in processes such as photosynthesis.
