^Cooper GM. 10.The Chloroplast Genome. The Cell: A Molecular Approach 2nd. Washington, D.C.: ASM Press. 2000. ISBN 978-0-87893-106-4. , one of the subunits of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco) is encoded by chloroplast DNA. Rubisco is the critical enzyme that catalyzes the addition of CO2 to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate during the Calvin cycle. It is also thought to be the single most abundant protein on Earth, so it is noteworthy that one of its subunits is encoded by the chloroplast genome. 含有內容需登入查看的頁面 (link)
