Rubisco, or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, is an enzyme involved in carbon fixation during photosynthesis. While many enzymes end in '-ase' to indicate that they are enzymes, rubisco derives its name from its function, which involves carboxylation and oxygenation reactions, rather than its enzymatic activity.
Most end in -ase. Examples are carboxypeptidase and hydrolases.
The suffix "-ase" is commonly added to the name of a substance to signify that it is an enzyme. Examples include lipase, amylase, and protease.
The molecule that can bind to RuBisCO and inhibit carbon fixation rates is oxygen. This process is known as photorespiration, and occurs when RuBisCO binds with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, leading to a decrease in the efficiency of photosynthesis.
Some substitutes for rubisco include enolase, PEP carboxylase, and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase. These enzymes can have higher affinities for carbon dioxide, reducing the rate of photorespiration in plants.

-ase.
The suffix "-ase" is commonly added to the name of a substance to signify that it is an enzyme. Examples include lipase, amylase, and protease.
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
-ase
Rubisco is an important enzyme
By putting the suffix -ase at the end.
Enzyme, cellulase, lipase, polymerase
The suffix "ase" at the end of a word typically indicates an enzyme, which is a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions in living organisms. Enzymes are essential for various biological processes, such as digestion and metabolism.
all enzyme names end in -ase so probably.
