  1. aStorage stability is defined as the remaining relative activity after 15 days
  2. bThermal stability is the remaining relative activity after incubation at 70 °C for 10 min
  3. cReusability is the remaining relative activity after five cycles of reuse at the flow rate of 1.4 μL min−1
  4. dVp is the volume of the reactant mixture (RuBP and \({\rm{HCO}}_{3}^{-}\) in the reaction buffer)
  5. eData is obtained when Vp is 1680 μL
