Question

why rubisco is called a dual enzyme?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

• When rubisco catalyses this reaction, it is known as ribulose bisphosphate oxygenase.
• Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase has common substrate, ribulose 1, 5- bisphosphate (RuBP).
• In some purple non-sulphur bacteria rubisco consists of two large subunits each of 50 kDa.
