Biochemical characterization of predicted Precambrian RuBisCO

The enzyme RuBisCO has evolved over billions of years and catalyses reactions in plants and bacteria, although why some reactions persist is unclear. Here, the authors resurrect ancestral RuBisCO to reveal aspects of the Precambrian atmosphere and the selective pressures governing RuBisCO evolution.
