Calvin Cycle Carbon Fixation, Rubisco, and Rubisco Activase

The video tutorial explores the Calvin Cycle, focusing on the enzyme Rubisco, its role in carbon fixation, and its dual function as a carboxylase and oxygenase. It discusses the regulation of Rubisco, including the effects of pH, Rubisco Activase, and CA1P. The tutorial also delves into the structure of Rubisco's active site, emphasizing the importance of the carbamate group for its activation. Despite Rubisco's slow turnover rate, its abundance in plants compensates for this, making it crucial for photosynthesis.

What is the relationship between Rubisco and carbon fixation in plants?

What is the significance of the carbamate group in Rubisco's function?

Describe the role of Rubisco Activase in the regulation of Rubisco.
