'''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. | '''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.
