Experimental evidence for extra proton exchange in ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase catalysis [PDF]
Despite considerable advances in the past 50 y, the mechanism of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalysis is still not well understood.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle: Focus on the last three enzymatic steps that allow the formation of Rubisco substrate [PDF]
The Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle comprises the metabolic phase of photosynthesis and is responsible for carbon fixation and the production of sugar phosphates.

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activates O2 by electron transfer. [PDF]
Significance Despite its enormous evolutionary success (it is the carboxylating enzyme of all photosynthetic pathways from microorganisms to higher plants), Rubisco is rather inefficient due to wasteful competitive inhibition by molecular oxygen.

Identification of Interactions between Abscisic Acid and Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase. [PDF]
Abscisic acid ((+)-ABA) is a phytohormone involved in the modulation of developmental processes and stress responses in plants. A chemical proteomics approach using an ABA mimetic probe was combined with in vitro assays, isothermal titration calorimetry (

The Physiological Responses of Escherichia coli Triggered by Phosphoribulokinase (PrkA) and Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (Rubisco) [PDF]
Phosphoribulokinase (PrkA) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) have been proposed to create a heterologous Rubisco-based engineered pathway in Escherichia coli for in situ CO2 recycling.

Oxidative stress-induced formation of covalently linked ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit dimer in tobacco plants [PDF]
Objective Many abiotic stresses cause the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species known as oxidative stress. While analyzing the effects of oxidative stress on tobacco, we noticed the increased accumulation of a specific protein in extracts ...

Melatonin Improves Salt Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings by Enhancing Photosystem II Functionality and Calvin Cycle Activity [PDF]
Salt stress severely impairs photosynthesis and development in tomato seedlings. This study investigated the regulatory role of exogenous melatonin (MT) on photosynthetic performance under salt stress by determining chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a ...
