Hi,
why is rubisco not optimized on its carboxylase activity? Or: why does
rubisco still have got oxygenase activity, which doesn't provide any
advantage (or does it?)?
Complicated ways like C4 or CAM had to be invented to compensate
rubiscos disadvantage (i.e. oxygenase activity), but the next way,
modification, was never succesfully performed. Why that?
Thank you
