During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction — the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be the ...

The researchers show that the pathway is important for light-dependent activation of enzymes, photosynthesis in leaves, and normal growth in plants. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy. Just like our pupils, plants must adjust to the changing intensity ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation ...

The central biocatalyst in photosynthesis, Rubisco, is the most abundant enzyme on earth. By reconstructing billion-year-old enzymes, a team of Max Planck researchers has deciphered one of the key ...

New light shed on carboxysomes in key discovery that could boost photosynthesis. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 05 / 240510111414.htm ...

Carboxysomes are tiny compartments in certain bacteria and algae that encase particular enzymes in a shell made of proteins. They perform carbon fixation, which is the process of converting carbon ...
