RBCS-8B

Gene
RBCS-8B
Protein
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase small chain 8B, chloroplastic
Organism
Nicotiana plumbaginifolia
Length
180 amino acids
Function
RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the RuBisCO small chain family.
