Figure 4-48X-ray crystallography

(A) Protein crystal of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, an enzyme that plays a central role in CO2 fixation during photosynthesis. (B) X-ray diffraction pattern obtained from the crystal. (C) Simplified model of the protein structure derived from the x-ray diffraction data. The complete atomic model is hard to interpret, but this version shows its structural features clearly (alpha helices, green; beta strands, red). (A, courtesy of C. Branden; B, courtesy of J.
