Summary Introduction

To find: To draw the Calvin cycle and find how the number of carbon atoms remains constant after every cycle.

Introduction:

Calvin cycle is a cascade of reactions that cause carbon fixation entered as carbon dioxide (CO2) into the plants. It is also known as the C3 cycle that takes place in the chloroplast of the bundle-sheath cells of the plant leaves.

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Explain the role of each of the products (left side of the arrow) and explain where the products (right side of the arrow) came from.
a) Draw the carboxylation reaction mechanism catalyzed by Rubisco. Include the substrates, products, key amino acid residues in the active site, and important metal ions. b) Describe each step in the Rubisco carboxylation reaction and why the carbamylated lysine is critical for enzyme activity. c. Describe the purpose of the "regeneration stage" of the Calvin-Benson cycle.
If we use ribulose-5-phosphate that has been labeled with 14C isotope at the Carbon 1 position in the carbon reactions (of the Calvin Cycle), on which carbon of 3-PG should we see the labeled C atom appear? Explain.
