rbcmodel: Model Rubisco Carboxylation Rate Across Temperature, CO2, and O2

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>.
