RubisCO
RubisCO is the common name of
ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, an
enzyme that is used in the
Calvin cycle to catalyze the carbon fixation reaction. RubisCO is very important because it represents the most important pathway by which inorganic
carbon enters the
biosphere. It is also said that RubisCO is the most abundant
protein on Earth.
