RuBisCO carbon fixation enzyme C016 / 2837
RuBisCO carbon fixation enzyme, molecular model. This is RuBisCO from the spinach plant (Spinacia oleracea). RuBisCO stands for ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase. The RuBisCO enzyme aids carbon fixation (such as photosynthesis), especially in plants kept in relative darkness. This structure is a hexadecamer with eight large and eight small subunits

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of RuBisCO, a vital enzyme involved in carbon fixation. The image depicts a detailed molecular model of RuBisCO extracted from the spinach plant, Spinacia oleracea. Against a striking black background, this artwork highlights the beauty and complexity found within botanical biology. RuBisCO, short for ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase, plays a crucial role in processes like photosynthesis. Particularly in plants kept in relative darkness, this enzyme aids carbon fixation by converting atmospheric CO2 into organic compounds essential for plant growth and development. The hexadecameric structure depicted here consists of eight large subunits and eight small subunits intricately arranged to form an efficient macromolecule. This visual representation offers insight into the structural composition of RuBisCO at a molecular level. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this artistic portrayal serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic masterpiece. It invites viewers to appreciate the wonders of biochemistry while emphasizing the significance of proteins like RuBisCO in sustaining life on Earth. Captured by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print is not just visually stunning but also holds immense scientific value. It exemplifies how art can merge with science to create captivating visuals that inspire curiosity about our natural world's inner workings.
