The Protein Assignment

The protein that I chose to research was Rubisco, Rubisco creates organic compounds from inorganic carbon dioxide. It is used in plants during photosynthesis to create the useable carbon from the carbon dioxide the plant absorbs. This protein is also why oxygen is released during photosynthesis, because of it takes oxygen out of the carbon dioxide and releases them, keeping the needed carbon for the photosynthesis process. I think this protein is cool because it is one of the only reasons we are still alive.
