Carbon fixation is the process by which CO2 is converted from a gas into biomass. The
Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle (CBB) is the dominant carbon-consuming pathway on …

Macromolecular crowding affects the activity of proteins and functional macromolecular
complexes in all cells, including bacteria. Crowding, together with physicochemical …

Almost twenty years after its initial release, the Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) resource
remains an invaluable source of information for the study of motif-mediated protein-protein …

Many eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms enhance their carbon uptake by supplying
concentrated CO2 to the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco in an organelle called the pyrenoid …

Carboxysomes are proteinaceous organelles that encapsulate key enzymes of CO2 fixation—
Rubisco and carbonic anhydrase—and are the centerpiece of the bacterial CO2 …

Many photosynthetic species have evolved CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
improve the efficiency of CO2 assimilation by Rubisco and reduce the negative impacts of …

Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) visualizes the 3D spatial distribution of
macromolecules at nanometer resolution inside native cells. However, automated …

CO2 fixation is commonly limited by inefficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco.
Eukaryotic algae concentrate and fix CO2 in phase-separated condensates called …

Pyrenoids are non-membrane bound organelles found in chloroplasts of algae and hornwort
plants that can be seen by light-microscopy. Pyrenoids are formed by liquid-liquid phase …

In the past almost 15 years, we witnessed the birth of a new scientific field focused on the
existence, formation, biological functions, and disease associations of membraneless …
