光合成における炭素同化反応の構造生物学研究

抄録

The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide（CO₂）concentration is likely to be related to global warming and climate change. Photosynthesis can convert atmospheric CO₂ using light and water to produce many kinds of organic molecules. The lack of crystal structures of the enzymes involved in photosynthetic carbon assimilation has hindered the understanding of the detailed mechanisms. Crystallographic studies of the enzymes involved in photosynthetic carbon assimilation provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms.
