Question
1- 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) is a phosphoryl group donor during the
synthesis of ATP in the reaction:
1,3-BPG + ADP → 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP
In human erythrocytes, the steady-state concentration of ATP is 2.24 mM, that
of ADP is 0.25 mM, and that of 3-Phosphoglycerate is 0.15 mM. Calculate the
concentration of 1,3-BPG at 25 °C, assuming that the above reaction is at the
Equilibrium in the cell, and that the AG° of the reaction is -18.9 kJ/mol. Use
R=8.315 J/mol.K and show your work.
2- In fact, the above reaction is maintained in a non-Equilibrium steady state in
human erythrocytes; and the AG’ of the reaction is equal to -3.7 kJ/mol in these
conditions. Calculate the concentration of 1,3-BPG at 25 °C in this non-
Equilibrium steady state. Show your work.
