Expanding the boundaries of CO2 fixation Date: January 11, 2021 Source: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Summary: Design and realization of synthetic enzymes open up an alternative to natural photorespiration.

This enzyme plays a crucial role in photorespiration, a process plants rely on to recycle waste products from photosynthesis. Under moderate weather conditions, photorespiration helps plants grow.

More specifically, their research aims to help plants adapt to changing temperatures by introducing engineered enzymes that will increase plants' heat tolerance. Phys.org Story by Science X staff ...

During photorespiration, a plant sends its enzymes through three different compartments within the plant cell. “Photorespiration is anti-photosynthesis,” says lead author Paul South, ...
