Page of 6 ZOOM + name: 3. In the last reaction of the citric acid cycle, malate is dehydrogenated to regenerate the oxaloacetate necessary for the entry of acetyl-CoA into the cycle: L-Malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H* AG'° = 30.0 kJ/mol (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 °C. (b) Because AG°' assumes a standard pH of 7, the equilibrium constant calculated in (a) corresponds to [oxaloacetate][NADH] Keq [L-malate][NAD*] The measured concentration of L-malate in rat liver mitochondria is about 0.20 mM when [NAD*]/[NADH] is 10. Calculate the concentration of oxaloacetate at pH 7 in these mitochondria. (c) To appreciate the magnitude of the mitochondrial oxaloacetate concentration, calculate the number of oxaloacetate molecules in a single rat liver mitochondrion. Assume the mitochondrion is a sphere of diameter 2.0 microns.

Consider the mechanism of the aldolase reaction given in figure 9.25. In chapter 12, we saw that the same enzyme was used to catalyze the reverse reaction, DHAP + glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatefructose-1,6-bisphosphate, in the first step of stage 3 in the Calvin Cycle. Using arrows and structures similar to what is shown in 9.25, propose a mechanism for this reverse reaction (which is an aldol condensation
