The paper characterizes over 250 Rubisco variants from bacteria and archaea, showing they rarely exceed 30 reactions per second at 30°C and predicting rates for all sequenced variants using machine learning.

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.

This study characterizes the kinetic properties of over 100 bacterial form I rubiscos to identify factors influencing carboxylation rates, finding that carboxysomes and cyanobacterial origins are associated with faster rates.

This study identifies the structural basis of Rubisco phase separation in the pyrenoid by analyzing interactions between Rubisco and its linker protein EPYC1 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
