rbcmodel - Model Rubisco Carboxylation Rate Across Temperature, CO2, and O2
Collects published kinetics of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and uses these kinetics to
model the carboxylation rate across CO2 and O2 concentrations
and different temperatures. The carboxylation rate can be
modeled as the gross rate or the net rate, which takes into
account the oxygenase activity of the enzyme using one of the
three known phosphoglycolate salvage pathways. Custom enzymes
and temperature dependences can be created with user kinetics,
or published kinetics can be accessed through a meta-analysis
contained within the package. An expansion of methods from
