Ribulose-Bisphosphate Carboxylase

1,5-Biphosphate Carboxylase-Oxygenase; Fraction 1 Protein; Ribulose Biphosphate Carboxylase; Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase; Ribulose-1,5-Biphosphate Carboxylase; Ribulose-1,5-Biphosphate Carboxylase-Oxygenase; 1 Protein, Fraction
A copper protein that catalyzes the formation of 2 moles of 3-phosphoglycerate from ribulose 1,5-biphosphate in the presence of carbon dioxide. It utilizes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide to form 2-phosphoglycollate and 3-phosphoglycerate. EC 4.1.1.39.
