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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...

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) ...

Resurrecting billon-year-old enzymes reveals how photosynthesis adapted to the rise of oxygen. The central biocatalyst in photosynthesis, Rubisco, is the most abundant enzyme on earth. By ...
