If Glutamate + NH4 --> glutamine Delta G = 14.2 kj/mol and ATP + H2O --> ADP + Pi Delta G = -30.5 kj/mol What is true? - overall reaction is non-spontaneous -reaction 2 is non-spontaneous - overall reaction is spontaneous -reaction 1 is spontaneous.
Given that delta H (change in enthalpy) = -2808 kJ mol-1 and delta S (change in entropy) = 182. 4 J K-1 mol-1 for this reaction, how much energy is available from the oxidation of 1 mol of glucose at 310 K?
This is a thermodynamically unfavorable process, with ΔG°' = +13.7 kJ/mol. In a liver cell at 37°C the concentrations of both phosphate and glucose are normally maintained at about 6.2 mM each, while the glucose-6-phosphate is around 2.1 mM . Calcaulate the Gibb's Free Energy (ΔG) of this reaction occuring in the liver
5) The conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in glycolysis has a AG" value of 7.5 kJ/mol, so the reaction should be unfavorable. a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction, based on this AG" value and assuming a temperature of 37 °C. b) For this reaction to occur spontaneously in the cell, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) levels are kept low. What is the value of AG if the concentration of GAP is kept at 1/100 that of the DHAP. 6) Energy can be harnessed as electrons move from compounds with low reduction potential to those with a higher reduction potential. This happens many times in the electron transport chain, where O, ultimately accepts the electrons. Using Table 3.6, determine the AG" for the transfer of electrons from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to produce H,0.
Arrange the following in increasing melting points. Myristic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid. Explain why.
Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is metabolized to lactic acid according to the equation C6H12O6(aq)2C3H6O3(aq) G=198 kJ at pH 7.0 and 25°C Glycolysis is the source of energy in human red blood cells. In these cells, the concentration of glucose is 5.0103 M, while that of lactic acid is 2.9103 M. Calculate AG for glycolysis in human blood cells under these conditions. Use the equation G=G+RT In Q, where Q is the concentration quotient, analogous to K.
The hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli, a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in 15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme. When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second? Vnax = umol -s. mg- If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme? (Er = umol - mg-

Oxygen is transported around the body by the globular protein hemoglobin which contains four Fe2* ions. Hemoglobin is “oxygenated" when coordinated to dissolved oxygen in the blood. This can be simplistically represented by the following equation (where Hb represents one hemoglobin molecule): н (ад) + 402 (д) + нь(02)4 (аq) (1) Hemoglobin also readily binds with carbon monoxide (CO). Indeed, hemoglobin has a much higher affinity to CO than O2 resulting in significantly stronger hemoglobin binding to CO than to O2. This is a problem because hemoglobin molecules which are coordinated to carbon monoxide are unable to transport oxygen around the body as needed. No more than 2.5% of your body's hemoglobin can be bound to CO before health effects become noticeable. The consequence is that even very low partial pressures of CO in the air have physiological implications for humans. нь (ад) + 4Cо (д) + нь(со)4 (аq) (2) Compare and evaluate the relative magnitudes of the equilibrium constant for…
