Rubisco

The protein, known as Rubisco, is a vital part of the photosynthesis process, by which plants convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into oxygen and sugar in the presence of light.

As internal leaf CO2 concentrations decline due to stomatal closure, the enzyme Rubisco tends to fix more oxygen and liberates CO2 in a process known as photorespiration.

Rubisco is flooded with CO2 and sugars are made in abundance using the Calvin cycle.

Cardon dioxide itself is fixed by the enzyme Rubisco, catalysing the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

No intelligence would know to specify the broad outlines of plant Rubisco through principle, as one may with silicon solar cells.

The Rubisco enzymes of plants are only explainable via contingency, since plant Rubisco is in fact poorly “designed” for present environments.

Rubisco only makes sense via contingent evolutionary development, thus it is a non-marker for intelligent design.

"Because the modified Rubisco is predicted to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more effectively it would enhance crop yields, and could be interesting for climate protection," said Manajit Hayer-Hartl, project leader at MPI.

The next goal of the team is to genetically modify Rubisco so that it bonds more often with carbon dioxide and less frequently with oxygen.
