The paper characterizes the structural and functional diversity of rubisco by synthesizing and analyzing diverse sequences, revealing a dimeric origin and a novel large rubisco structure.

The paper maps the sequence-to-function relationship of rubisco by assaying single amino acid mutants in E. coli, identifying conserved positions and mutations that improve CO2 affinity.

The paper identifies a Prochlorococcus lineage in oxygen deficient zones that expresses both form I and form II rubiscos, suggesting an adaptation to low oxygen environments.
