ACTIVATED SPINACH RUBISCO COMPLEXED WITH 2-CARBOXYARABINITOL BISPHOSPHATE

Overview

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) from spinach is, a hexadecamer (L8S8, Mr = 550,000) consisting of eight large (L, 475, residues) and eight small subunits (S, 123 residues). High-resolution data, collection on crystals with large unit cells is not a trivial task due to, the effect of radiation damage and the large number of overlapping, reflections when conventional data collection methods are used. In order, to minimise these effects, data on rubisco were collected with a giant, Weissenberg camera at long crystal to image-plate distances at the, synchrotron of the Photon Factory, Japan. Relative to conventional data, sets, this experimental arrangement allowed a 20 to 30-fold reduction of, the X-ray dose/exposure time for data collection. This paper describes ...
