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).

Active site studies with ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase[1]
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 isomerase (R15Pi) is a novel enzyme recently identified as a member of an AMP metabolic pathway in archaea. The enzyme converts d-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate into ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, providing the substrate for archaeal ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenases. We here report the crystal structures

Phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) is a major enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, catalyzing the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. In this study, we demonstrated the effect of ribose 1,5-bisphosphate on phosphofructokinase purified from rat kidney cortex. Ribose 1,5-bisphosphate relieved

An enzymatic pathway for synthesis of 5-phospho-D-ribosyl alpha-1-diphosphate (PRPP) without the participation of PRPP synthase was analyzed in Escherichia coli. This pathway was revealed by selection for suppression of the NAD requirement of strains with a deletion of the prs

The tissue contents of previously known allosteric effectors of brain phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) (PFK) and the kinetic behavior of isolated PFK were investigated during the initiation of rapid glycolytic flux in freeze-blown rat brain. Comparing 0- with 5-s brains revealed
