ri·bu·lose-1,5-bis·phos·phate car·box·yl·ase

(rī'byū-lās bis-fos'fāt kar-boks'il-ās),
A dimerizing carboxy-lyase; an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of carbon dioxide to d-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and the hydrolysis of the addition product to two molecules of 3-d-phosphoglyceric acid, a key reaction in the fixation of CO2 in photosynthesis.
Synonym(s): carboxydismutase
