What is Calvin Cycle: CO2 Assimilation Process about?
Melvin Calvin and his colleagues discovered the Calvin cycle in the 1950s through experiments using radioactive carbon isotopes. They found that carbon dioxide is fixed into the three-carbon compound 3-phosphoglycerate within the chloroplasts of plants. The Calvin cycle then regenerates the five-carbon acceptor ribulose-1,6-bisphosphate through three stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration. This cyclic process uses energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert CO2 into
