(biochemistry) A plant enzyme (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) which catalyzes both the fixing of atmospheric carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and the reverse process of photorespiration. [from 20th c.]
RuBisCO

Carbon fixation and G3P synthesis The Calvin cycle starts by using the enzyme Rubisco to fix CO 2 into five-carbon Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) molecules. Source: Internet
Bundle sheath chloroplasts do not carry out the light reactions, preventing oxygen from building up in them and disrupting rubisco activity. Source: Internet
Their energy is used in the light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle by the enzyme rubisco to produce molecules of the 3-carbon sugar glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). Source: Internet
