Effect of CO2 concentration and temperature on Rubisco deactivation

Temperature, °C Rubisco activation (fraction of sites catalytically competent)
370 μbar CO2 3,700 μbar CO2
25 0.80  ± 0.02 0.77  ± 0.06
35 0.74  ± 0.02 0.66  ± 0.04
42 0.51  ± 0.02 0.53  ± 0.05

Fully carbamylated Rubisco was incubated under catalytic conditions for 1.5 min at the indicated temperatures and CO2 levels.
