Species S c/o Γ* (µbar) K c (µM) K o (µM) k cat c(s−1)
Coffee 98.4±4.3 39.6±1.7 10.3±1.3 479±113 3.2±0.1

n = 4±SE.

Abbreviations: S c/o, Rubisco specificity factor; Γ*, CO2 compensation point in the absence of mitochondrial respiration; K c and K o, the Michaelis-Menten kinetics for CO2 and O2, respectively; k cat c, Rubisco catalytic turnover rate for the carboxylase reaction.
