Properties of ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (carboxydismutase) from Chinese cabbage and photosynthetic microorganisms.
Ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (carboxydismutase) was prepared from Chinese Cabbage [Brassica petsai (Parl)] and the K(m) values and molecular weight were determined. These parameters were found to be in good agreement with values reported for this enzyme from other higher plants. Investigation of carboxydismutase activity from the photosynthetic micro-organisms Chlamydomonas reinhardi (IU 89+), Plectonema boryanum (IU 594), and Chromatium strain D showed striking similarity to the higher plant enzyme, when the sedimentation coefficients were compared.
