Crystal structure of the active site of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase

Crystal structure of the active site of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase Ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase catalyses the key carboxylation reaction of photosynthetic carbon fixation, but also the competing oxygenase reaction of photorespiration. The structure of the active site of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase described here should provide a rational basis for attempts to improve the efficiency of the enzyme by genetic engineering. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Springer Journals

Abstract

Ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase catalyses the key carboxylation reaction of photosynthetic carbon fixation, but also the competing oxygenase reaction of photorespiration. The structure of the active site of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase described here should provide a rational basis for attempts to improve the efficiency of the enzyme by genetic engineering.
