text: RuBisCO is one of many enzymes in the Calvin cycle. When Rubisco facilitates the attack of  at the C2 carbon of RuBP and subsequent bond cleavage between the C3 and C2 carbon, 2 molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate are formed. The conversion involves these steps: enolisation, carboxylation, hydration, C-C bond cleavage, and protonation.
