Application

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is a component of the Calvin cycle that is metabolized into glycerate 3-phosphate (G3P) by the enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). RuBP is used to identify, differentiate and characterize ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase(s)/oxygenase(s) (RuBisCO).

Irradiation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from spinach in the presence of vanadate at 4 degrees C resulted in rapid loss of carboxylase activity. The inactivation was light and vanadate dependent. When the enzyme was irradiated in the presence of the substrate

Ribose-1,5-bisphosphate is synthesized in a reaction that uses ribose-1(or 5)-P as the phosphoryl acceptor and the acyl-P of 3-phosphoglyceryl phosphate as the donor. Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is synthesized in a similar reaction. The relative activity with the two substrates remains unchanged over

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyses the first step in carbon fixation and is a strategic target for improving photosynthetic efficiency. In plants, Rubisco is composed of eight large and eight small subunits, and its biogenesis requires multiple chaperones. Here, we optimized
