 Abstract: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), the most important enzyme for the assimilation of carbon into biomass, features a well-known isotope effect with regards to the CO2 carbon atom. This kinetic isotope effect α = k12/k13 for the carboxylation step of the RuBisCO reaction sequence, and its microscopic origin, was investigated with the help of cluster models and quantum chemical methods [B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)]. We use a recently proposed model for the RuBisCO active site, in which a water molecule remains close to the reaction center during carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate [B. Kannappan, J.E. Gready, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130 (2008), 15063]. Alternative active-site models and/or computational approaches were also tested. An isotope effect alpha for carboxylation is found, which is reasonably close to the one measured for the overall reaction, and which originates from a simple frequency shift of the bending vibration of 12CO2 compared to 13CO2. The latter is the dominant mode for the product formation at the transition state.
