'''Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase – RuBisCO''' (RBCO) catalyzes the first step in photosynthetic carbon fixation, and it is the most abundant protein on earth.  RBCO can either carboxylate or oxygenate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RUBP) with CO<sub>2</sub> or O<sub>2</sub>, respectively.  RBCO from flowering plants consists of eight large subunits and eight  small subunits.

The structure of spinach Rubisco bound to the naturally occurring inhibitor 2-carboxylarabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate (CAP) and Mg<sup>2+</sup> ([[8ruc]]<ref>PMID:8648644</ref>), implicates residues that are involved in the catalytic mechanism [[Image:RubiscoMechanism.pdf]]. [[Image:CAP.jpg|left|]] The structure of CAP (left figure) is similar to the hydrated reaction intermediate that is formed following the addition of CO<sub>2</sub> to RUBP.

<scene name='46/463261/8ruc_active-site/10'>Residues that are involved in catalysis</scene> are shown shown here in CPK ball & stick. Asp 203 and Glu 204 bind to and position the magnesium ion. The carbamylated lysine residue KCX 201 coordinates Mg<sup>2+</sup> and initiates catalysis by extracting a proton from C3 of RUBP. Note the proximity of the carbamyl group to carbon 3 in this structure. His 294 acts as a catalytic base in the carboxylation step of the mechanism and accepts a proton from the hydroxyl of carbon 3. Mg<sup>2+</sup> is coordinated by six ligands. In addition to oxygen atoms in the three residues already mentioned, the ion binds to two oxygen atoms of RUBP. The 6th ligand is either water or in the carboxylation step it binds the incoming CO<sub>2</sub>. In the structure shown, Mg<sup>2+</sup> is bound to the carboxyl group in CAP that corresponds to the fixed CO<sub>2</sub> in the hydrated intermediate.</StructureSection>
