Abstract The structure of spinach ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) has been investigated by tilted-view electron microscopy of negatively stained monolayer crystals and image processing. The structure determined consists of a cylinder of octagonal cross-section with a large central hole. Based on this and other available evidence a model for the arrangement of the large and small subunits is suggested with the eight small subunits arranged equatorially around the core of eight large subunits.
