Evolution and Innovation of RuBisCO

SIBYLS beamline scientists Daniel Rosenberg and Michal Hammel collaborated with the Shih Lab at UC Berkeley to study patterns of oligomerization in rubisco, nature’s most abundant carbon-fixing enzyme.  By using SEC-SAXS-MALS, they were able to conduct a diversity-driven structural study across extant and ancestral form II rubisco and retrace the evolutionary trajectory taken during the evolution of the enzyme.
