Calvin cycle rxn typeoverall rxnCannot proceed w/ out..
Light independent (dark rxn) CO2-->(CH2O)NADPH & ATP
Calvin cycle stages
Carbon FixationReductive stageCycle regeneration
Stage 1Carbon fixation enzymeHydrolysis of unstable product to make..
Rubisco: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxyoxygenase 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate
Rubisco activity requiresMg held in place how
Mg & CO2 By (-) charges of ASP/GLU
Primary function of rubisco
Catalyzes carbon fixation
Inefficient intermediate
2-phosphoglycolate
Stage 23-phosphoglycerate gets..enzymes involvedall happens where?
Phosphorylated & reduced to glyceraldehyde-3-phosG3PD, Aldolase & fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in stroma
Stage 3produced...enzymes
5-C sugarTransketoalase & aldolase
Overall rxn:
F-6-P+2GAP+1DHAP+3ATP-->3-ribulose-5-P+3ADP
To produce 1 molecule of glucose...Cost of single glucose
Must complete 2 rounds of calvin cycle54 ATP equivalents (18 ATP & 12NADPH)
CelluloseStarchSucrose
Structural glucose in plantsStorage form of glucose, made in chloroplastsTransportable glucose, made in cytoplasm
Regulation of rubisco by..
Light & thioredoxin
Light drives ATP & NADPH synthesis by..Activator of rubisco
Pumping protons into lumen from stromaMg leaves lumen to balance influx of protons
Thioredoxin coordinates
Electron transport & carbon fixation
Pentose phosphate pathwayPhases
Oxidative generation of NADPH Synthesis of 5-C sugars
