During the regeneration stage of the calvin cycle:
- The remaining glyceraldehyde three-phosphate (G3P) molecules are converted into ribulose biphosphate (RuBP), a five carbon sugar that is combined with CO2
- The reaction is speeded up by RuBP carboxylase (rubisco), an enzyme that catalyzes the combination of CO2 and RuBP
