Ketone-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (chemical reaction 3D schematic diagram)

Rubisco is one of the most abundant enzymes in nature, playing an important role in carbon fixation and photorespiration processes. Specifically, Rubisco participates in the dark reaction process after the light reaction in the photosynthetic reaction, catalyzing the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-diphosphate (RuBP) and then cleavage to form two glycerol-3-phosphate (PGA) molecules. This reaction is a crucial step in the Calvin cycle.
