The majority of this work is done by one enzyme: Rubisco, the most abundant enzyme on Earth, responsible for capturing ~100 gigatons of carbon every year. Rubisco is arguably the single most ...

While engineering plant enzymes and biochemical pathways that are more efficient remains a transformative goal, this review highlights another promising approach: increasing Rubisco content.

Likely the most abundant enzyme on Earth, Rubisco performs the vital function of fixing carbon from the environment in photosynthetic organisms. Of the four forms of Rubisco known to exist today, form ...

(via It's Okay to Be Smart) Plants eat sunlight and air to make life. But the key enzyme behind it all, called rubisco, isn’t actually all that great at its job. Let’s talk about how photosynthesis ...
