RuBP is the short form for one of the intermediates in the Calvin cycle: Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
Rubisco (an enzyme) catalyzes the reaction of RuBP with Carbon Dioxide in a process known as carbon fixation. This forms 2 molecules of glycerate 3-phosphate (GP). GP then further goes onto be reduced to triose phosphate and RuBP is generated again

Doctor: WHAT ON EARTH IS RuBP?
Student Doctor: Didn't you learn doctor?! It's the short form of Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate!
Doctor: WHAAAAATT???? They had slang for Organic Compounds?!? Biology is so fun!
Student Doctor: That's the life!

Get the RuBP mug.Abridged version of ‘Rubpole of the Baileys’. Defined as a woman in her 40s and above who gets amorous following consumption of sickly Irish liqueurs. Typically still a member of the Take That fan club, she will treat her husband to one off the wrist whilst thinking about Gary Barlow after a she’s sunk a bottle.
