Photorespiration and the C4 Cycle

Description
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase is a peculiar enzyme.

Under normal environmental conditions, it can behave as an oxygenase as well as a carboxylase.

In the oxygenase reaction, it is proposed that the enediolate intermediate nucleophilically attacks O2 instead of CO2.
