Happy to share that our work on how carbonic anhydrase encapsulates into α-carboxysomes is now out in PNAS. Tl;dr: We discovered a carbonic anhydrase-Rubisco supercomplex and solved a sub 2 Å cryoEM structure. @SavageCatsOnly @berkeleyMCB @chem_angstrom /1

Carboxysomes are proteinaceous organelles that encapsulate key enzymes of CO2 fixation—Rubisco and carbonic anhydrase—and are the centerpiece of th...

The carbonic anhydrase assay can be used to measure kinetics on any purified CA so we hope this will be useful for people also outside of the carboxysome field /2.

Interested in carboxysomes and/or carbonic anhydrases? Here is our detailed method for purifying carboxysomes and using stopped-flow to measure kinetics on the carbon anhydrases they encapsulate. Nicely put together by PhD student Nikole! /1.
