8) R5P is converted into <scene name='94/945512/Cv/3'>ribulose-5-phosphate</scene> (Ru5P, RuP) by phosphopentose isomerase. Xu5P is converted into RuP by phosphopentose epimerase. | 8) R5P is converted into <scene name='94/945512/Cv/3'>ribulose-5-phosphate</scene> (Ru5P, RuP) by phosphopentose isomerase.

9) Finally, phosphoribulokinase (another plant-unique enzyme of the pathway) phosphorylates RuP into RuBP, <scene name='94/942630/Cv/1'>ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate</scene>, completing the Calvin cycle. This requires the input of one ATP. | 9) Finally, phosphoribulokinase (e.g. [[Crystal structure of phosphoribulokinase from Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 6301]]; another plant-unique enzyme of the pathway) phosphorylates RuP into RuBP, <scene name='94/942630/Cv/1'>ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate</scene>, completing the Calvin cycle. This requires the input of one ATP. | ||
