“…In the case of the attachment of CO 2 to enediolate, an intermediate 6-carbon compound is formed, which is named 3-keto-2-carboxy- d -arabinitol 1,5-bisphosphate (3kCABP). In the literature, one can find a number of works devoted to the modeling of the steps of the carboxylation of RuBP by quantum–chemical methods [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], as well as a combination of quantum–chemical and molecular modeling methods [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. When modeling the RuBP enolization reaction, some authors consider the reaction product to be the 2,3-enediol compound [ 11 ] or its deprotonated form, 2,3-enediolate [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”
