Rubisco Part II
Left to right, top to bottom, substrate appears in each picture:
a. Alpha-Beta Barrel
b. Half of the Holoenzyme (eight of the 16 subunits)
c. Alpha helices portion of the A-B barrel
d. Beta sheet portion of the A-B barrel
e. Ribbon model of the large subunit
f. Spacefilling model of the large subunit
I hope half of my faithful viewers can understand half of what is shown above. It should be noted that plant rubisco is a huge enzyme that has eight large subunits and eight small subunits. Most of these pictures focus on the structure holding the active site, the alpha-beta barrel. The final picture, large subunit in spacefilling model, is the most accurate representation of the enzyme. The entire holoenzyme (16 subunits) in a spacefilling model would be a square blob.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
WHY WAS I DISQUALIFIED?!?!?!?!
It was clearly stated that "for your contest entry to be valid, you most answer both the poll and contest"
If you did not want to see more pictures of the beloved Ribusco, you should have just said so. After checking each of you comments, I cannot find any evidence of any answer to the poll. I whould like you to know that it took some really effort and time to capture the lastest pictures of Rubisco. Maybe if you had said no, I would not have blown half a night on protein explorer.
But hey, smile, you are still a winner!!!! And you will get a prize....
What were you doing up at 5:10 am...way to early to get up and wayyyy late to be headed to bed :S
I was working on ...... *deeep breath* ....ICONS!!!
....besides....valid schmalid....
Who needs validity anyway?!
Wow, I see where I fit in.... Thanks bro... Don't forget, just cause you're fam doesn't bar courts of original jurisdiction from hearing our case... In fact, since you are living in Kansas and I might be able to prove that you're intending to stay there, and I sue for more than $75,000, I can take you on in Federal Court. How does that sound? All I can say is that the prize for my "token" position had better be good!
wow...somone's going to law school!
I checked like 8 times already today *foot tapping*...still waiting...*looks at watch*
;)
