Ice nucleation catalyzed by the photosynthesis enzyme RuBisCO and other abundant biomolecules
Ice nucleation experiments suggest that the abundant plant protein RuBisCO is an efficient ice nucleating particle in the atmosphere, with analyses of ambient aerosols sampled in Texas confirming its presence and ice nucleating potential in the atmosphere.
