Abstract excerpt
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) catalyzes a rate-limiting step in photosynthetic carbon assimilation (reacting with CO2) and its competitive photo-respiratory carbon oxidation (reacting with O2). RuBisCo enzyme with an enhanced CO2/O2 specificity would boost the ability to make great progress in agricultural production and environmental management. RuBisCos in marine non-green algae,...
