Congrats everyone!! 🎉

What limits rubisco function? Is it the chemical mechanism? Evolution? In this paper, @prywes.bsky.social et. al explore this question by assaying >99% of single amino acid mutants in Form II rubisco (1/7) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Given that there are more and more newcomers from science to Bluesky, we remind you we have a starteer pack for those interested in cyanobacteriology:
