Abstract

The transient changes in absorption of visible light upon addition of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to Co2+-activated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase were used to show altered catalytic properties of a mutant form of the enzyme from Anacystis nidulans. The mutant form of the enzyme had a modified N-terminus and a 10-fold greater Km for ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate than the natural cyanobacterial enzyme.
