Malate is converted to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase in the final reaction of the citrate cycle. This redox reaction results in the reduction of NAD+ to generate NADH + H+. Answer the three questions below and choose the correct answer. (a) Calculate the delta AE" for the malate dehydrogenase reaction. (b) Calculate AG* and determine if the conversion from malate to oxaloacetate is favorable under standard biochemical conditions using the information below. (c) Under cellular conditions is the AG favorable or unfavorable? Oxaloacetate + 2H* + 2e- --> Malate E - -0.17 V NAD* + H+ + 2e- --> NADH E = -0.32 V

After reviewing the reactions of glutamine formation on page 88 (old edition page 90), explain why each of the following statements concerning the last reaction (or Overall reaction) is true. (Select all that apply) Glutamic acid + NH glutamine; AG" =+3.4 kcal/mole; ATP hydrolyzed in 2 steps 1. This endergonic reaction occurs in the cell because glutamic acid is actually converted to glutamine in 2 sequential reactions, both of which are exergonic: a. 1 reaction: Glutamic acid + ATP ghutamyl phosphate + ADP b. 2nd reaction: Glutamyl phosphate + NHglutamine + Pi 2. Overall reaction: Glutamic acid+ATP+NH: glutamine + ADP+P; AG -3.9 kcal/mole If all reactants and products were at standard conditions at the beginning of an experiment, after a period of time, the [NH3]/[ADP] ratio would decrease assuming enzyme glutamine synthase is present. If the reaction were written in in reverse, its AGO would be 3.9 kcal/mol. none of the remaining In the cell, it is possible for glutamine to be formed…
