Rubisco complexes (IMAGE)
Caption
Cryo-electron microscope image of two Rubisco complexes interacting with each other. If a subunit essential for solubility is missing, individual enzyme complexes can interact with each other in this way and form thread-like structures, so-called fibrils. Under normal conditions, however, Rubisco does not form such fibrils.
