🌡️🌱 Does rubisco adapt to climate via structural shifts? We modelled rubisco stability, and in 3 of 4 lineages, warmer growing seasons correlated with H-bonds contributing more to stability, offset by protein-solvent and van der Waals interactions. #PlantScience 1/3

Abstract. Enzymes are adapted to perform optimally in different thermal regimes that would otherwise alter kinetics and stability. Whether adaptive evoluti
