Chapter 11, Problem 6P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate $\Delta G$ for ATP hydrolysis in a cell at $37°C$

Concept introduction:

The hydrolysis of ATP is as follows:

$ATP+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons ADP+P_i$

If standard state free energy changes $\Delta G°$ at a given temperature, then the free energy change is given by:

$\Delta G=\Delta G°+RT\ln Q$

$Q$ is the reaction quotient.
