Recall that beta-hydroxybutyrate is oxidized by the enzyme beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase with
simultaneous reduction of NAD+ to NADH. How might this affect the reduction potential at Complex I in theelectron transport chain? (Note: you will need to use the form of the Nernst equation that uses non-standard
conditions.)

- In considering active transport by Na + -K + -ATPase at body temperature (37 o C), 3 Na+ are pumped out of the cell and 2 K + are pumped in for each ATP that is hydrolyzed to ADP + P i . Given that underyour experimental conditions, the DG for ATP hydrolysis is -10 kcal/mol, and that V is -60 mV, and that the pump maintains the internal Na + at 10mM, external Na + at 120 mM, internal K + at 120 mM and external K + at 8mM, what is the efficiency of the pump (i.e., what fraction of the energy available from ATP hydrolysis is required to drive transport at the provided levels)?Begining with 1 M concentrations of each reactant and product at pH=7 and 25.0 degrees C, calculate the K'eq of the reaction Pyruvate + NADH Lactate + NADH+H+.
