In the recent study, “Improving the Efficiency of Rubisco by Resurrecting Its Ancestors in the Family Solanaceae,” Cornell researchers, Myat Lin, lead author and researcher in the Hanson Lab, and ...

Rubisco. Molecular model of the enzyme rubisco (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) complexed with 2-carboxyarabinitol biphosphate. Rubisco is thought to be the most abundant and important ...

Up to now, the evolutionary trajectory of the most prevalent CO2-fixing enzyme – Rubisco Form I, has been difficult to study. The Rubisco found in today’s plants and algae has 8 small subunits (SSU) ...

The RuBisCO enzyme, the most abundant protein on the planet, is an essential component of photosynthesis, but it isn’t terribly efficient, especially when it gets hot. Over time, some plants evolved a ...

This substitution, combined with the development of a new metabolic cycle, the MOG cycle, could potentially revolutionize carbon fixation processes, greatly enhancing plant productivity. The shift ...

If you've ever been stuck wrestling a jar lid that just won't budge, you already know what plants go through with Rubisco. It's the enzyme that's supposed to help them turn sunlight into food — and ...

As part of the Tansley Review, the trio discuss their own research in increasing Rubisco in sorghum, as shown in these 2023 field trials. The authors believe improving rubisco could be part of ...

The green dots inside these plant cells are the chloroplasts which house the plant's solar energy capture and conversion capabilities Solar energy is a key component of humanity’s shift towards “green ...
