A tiny plant’s molecular “velcro” could help crops turn sunlight into food more efficiently. An international team of ...

Linker that joins up Rubisco cuts synthesis of toxic byproduct that plants pay a heavy energy price to deal with ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more ...

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 ...

Manajit Hayer-Hartl, head of the research group "Chaperonin-assisted Protein Folding", has a long-standing interest in the central enzyme of photosynthesis called Rubisco. Her team has already ...

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 ...

All of the carbon in our bodies, in food, and in the entire biosphere, results from the assimilation of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by a single enzyme, known to biologists as Rubisco. Not ...

The enzyme rubisco is found in all plants and other photosynthesizing organisms. It plays a key role in fixing carbon from the air and has helped shape life on Earth. Now researchers at UC Davis, UC ...
