Regulating the Calvin CycleSeveral Calvin cycle enzymes (e.g.Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) are also regulated by thioredoxin

contain disulfide bonds which get oxidized in the darkin light, ferredoxin reduces thioredoxin, thioredoxin reduces these disulfide bonds to activate the enzyme

PHOTORESPIRATION Rubisco can use O2 as substrate instead of CO2

RuBP + O2 <=> 3-phosphoglycerate + phosphoglycolate
