Abstract

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) changes its functioning form depending on the concentration of ribulose bisphos-phate (RuBP) in the in vitro assay (Fig. 1) [1,2]. The specific activity of the carboxylase reaction is very different among the three forms. Binding of RuBP to the regulatory sites of RuBisCO has been inferred to cause the change of the form.
