Question
Why is RuBisCo enzyme the most abundant enzyme in the world?
Solution
RuBisCo catalyzes the first step in the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugar during the calvin cycle. This enzyme is present in all the photosynthetic organisms of the world. From the cyanobacteria to the leaves of huge trees; RuBisCO is precisely present everywhere. It can be said that all the carbon in the biosphere originated from carbon fixation held up by RuBisCO. Hence, this is the most substantial enzyme in the world.
