Figure 4. Oligomeric Structures of Rubiscos(a) Decamer structure of Tk-Rubisco, with ribbon diagram from top view. Each monomer is shown in different colors and labeled from "A" to "J." Plausible structures of RuBP molecules and magnesium ions are marked in ellipses.(b) Side view of Tk-Rubisco by -90° rotation from (a), with the AB dimer at the center.(c) The (L[2])[4] core of type I Rubisco, with ribbon diagram from top view, where only L subunits in the L[8]S[8] structure [11] are shown. Each monomer is shown in different colors. RuBP molecules and magnesium ions are marked in ellipses.(d) Side view of the (L[2])[4] core of type I Rubisco by -90° rotation from (c)
