Continuous artificial synthesis of glucose precursor using enzyme-immobilized microfluidic reactors
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is a difficult enzyme to work with. Here, the authors covalently immobilized it in a microfluidic reactor to enhance its storage/thermal stabilities and reusability, which enabled the continuous ...

The Coevolution of RuBisCO, Photorespiration, and Carbon Concentrating Mechanisms in Higher Plants
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is the carbon-fixing enzyme present in most photosynthetic organisms, converting CO2 into organic matter.

Photosynthesis, Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase, Electron Transport, and Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate of Virescent and Normal Green Wheat Leaves [PDF]
CO(2) gas exchange, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, and electron transport have been measured in leaves of a yellow-green mutant of wheat (Triticum durum var Cappelli) and its wild type strain grown in the field. All these parameters, expressed on leaf area basis, were similar in both genotypes except electron transport which was more than double in the ...

Activation of ribulose 1,5âbisphosphate carboxylase by Ca2+ [PDF]
Purified RuBP carboxylase requires activation by reaction with CO2 and a divalent metal ion. Mg2+ is the most effective metal ion, and is probably involved in activation in vivo. Ca2+ is reported not to be an activator. Several oxyanions, including phosphate esters, are effectors of activation of RuBP carboxylase by Co2 and Mg2+.

Diffusive and Metabolic Constraints to Photosynthesis in Quinoa during Drought and Salt Stress
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has been proposed as a hardy alternative to traditional grain crops in areas with warm-to-hot climates that are likely to experience increased drought and salt stress in the future.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase from Rhodomicrobium vannielii [PDF]
Summary: The effect of carbon growth substrate on the level of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase in crude cell-free extracts of Rhodomicrobium vannielii (RM5) was investigated. The highest specific activity followed growth with sodium hydrogen malate as carbon source.

Synechocystis PCC 6803 overexpressing RuBisCO grow faster with increased photosynthesis
The ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) oxygenation reaction catalyzed by Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is competing with carboxylation, being negative for both energy and carbon balances in photoautotrophic organisms. This makes
