She then carries out the same experiment using ATP labeled with 32P in the central position, [ẞ-³2P]ATP, but the 32P does not appear in P; within such a short time. Which statements explain these results? Yeast cells reincorporate P; released from [ß-³2P]ATP into ATP more quickly than P¡ released from [y-³2P]ATP. Only the terminal (y) phosphorous atom acts as an electrophilic target for nucleophilic attack. The terminal (y) phosphoryl group undergoes a more rapid turnover than the central (B) phosphate group.

- The standard free energy, AGO, of hydrolysis of inorganic polyphosphate, polyP, is about −20 kJ/mol for each P; released. In a cell, it takes about 50 kJ/mol of energy to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. ○ P O Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) Is it feasible for a cell to use polyP to synthesize ATP from ADP? Why or why not? No. The reaction is unidirectional and always proceeds in the direction of polyP synthesis from ATP. Yes. If [ADP] and [polyP] are kept high, and [ATP] is kept low, the actual free-energy change would be negative. No. The synthesis of ATP from ADP and P; has a large positive G'o compared to polyP hydrolysis. Yes. The hydrolysis of polyP has a sufficiently negative AG to overcome the positive AGO of ATP synthesis. Correct Answerarrow_forwardIn the glycolytic pathway, a six-carbon sugar (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) is cleaved to form two three-carbon sugars, which undergo further metabolism. In this pathway, an isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate (as shown in the diagram) occurs two steps before the cleavage reaction. The intervening step is phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

Isomerization alters the molecular formula of the compound, allowing for subsequent phosphorylation. Isomerization moves the carbonyl group, setting up a cleavage between the central carbons. Isomerization causes the gain of electrons, allowing for the eventual release of NADH. Isomerization reactions cause the direct production of energy in the form of ATP.arrow_forwardFrom data in the table, calculate the AG value for the reactions.
