Overview

About

Maintained by Kaitlin HarrisonFirst published 2026-08-041 releasesCRAN page ↗

Collects published kinetics of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and uses these kinetics to model the carboxylation rate across CO2 and O2 concentrations and different temperatures. The carboxylation rate can be modeled as the gross rate or the net rate, which takes into account the oxygenase activity of the enzyme using one of the three known phosphoglycolate salvage pathways. Custom enzymes and temperature dependences can be created with user kinetics, or published kinetics can be accessed through a meta-analysis contained within the package. An expansion of methods from Harrison et al. (2025) doi:10.1128/aem.00604-25.

Install

R (CRAN)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rbcmodel", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rbcmodel

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rbcmodel

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
