Chapter 16, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced equation for the conversion of glucose to lactate should be written.

Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 28P

Glucose+2ADP+2P2Lactate+2ADP

Explanation of Solution

During glycolysis, two molecules of pyruvate are formed. The reaction is as follows:

Glucose+2ADP+2NAD++2P2Pyruvate+2ATP+2NADH+2H+-------- equation 1

When muscles undergo intense exercise, then due to lack of oxygen, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid. This process is termed as lactic acid fermentation. The reaction is as follows:

2Pyruvate+2NADH+2H+2Lactate+2NAD+--------- equation 2

Adding equation 1 and 2, we get,

Glucose+2ADP+2P2Lactate+2ADP ------- equation 3

So, this is the balanced conversion of glucose into lactic acid.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The standard free-energy change for the conversion of glucose into lactate.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is the process that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid. During this process energy is released in the form of two moles of ATP. The purpose of glycolysis is to maintain the blood glucose level.

Answer to Problem 28P

ΔG for conversion of glucose to lactate = -114 kJmol1.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

[glucose] = 5 mM[lactate]=0.05 mM[ATP]=2 mM[ADP]=0.2 mM[P]=1 mM

Standard Gibbs free energy for the formation of pyruvate:

Glucose+2ADP+2NAD++2P2Pyruvate+2ATP+2NADH+2H+-------- equation 1, ΔG1=73.3kJmol1

Standard Gibbs free energy for the formation of lactate from pyruvate:

2Pyruvate+2NADH+2H+2Lactate+2NAD+--------- equation 2, ΔG2=50kJmol1

Adding equation 1 and 2,

Glucose+2ADP+2P2Lactate+2ADP ------- equation 3, ΔG3=ΔG1+ΔG2ΔG3=73.3 kJmol1+50 kJmol1ΔG3=123.3 kJmol1

According to free energy change equation,

ΔG=ΔG+RTlnQWhere, Q = reaction quotient, R = gas constant, and T = temperature

Q =  [Lactate]2× [ATP]2[Glucose]× [ADP]2× [P]2= [0.05mM]2× [2mM]2[5mM]× [0.2mM]2× [1mM]2=50 MlnQ = ln 50 = 3.9

For equation 3,

ΔG3=123.3 kJmol1R = 0.0083 kJ/mol KT = 298 K

ΔG3=ΔG3+RTlnQΔG3=123.3kJmol1+0.0083kJ/mol K×298K×3.9ΔG3=114kJmol1

I am a Biochemistry student and I am confused on how to analyze FRAP Analysis using Excel Spread Sheets. The following spread sheet has my 0 minute data listed at top and the 4 minute data listed on the bottom. Sheet: https://mnscu-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/vi2163ss_go_minnstate_edu/EXjrCizWiXRPmpittqZA12IB8EkB5eE8iaRqj_iun-IAtg?rtime=Wo9zPHFY3Ug The formula for FRAP Analysis is: FRAP value = A (4 min sample) - A (0 min sample) over A (4 min 30 uM ascorbic acid) - A (0 min 30 uM ascorbic acid) multiplied by 30 uM and the dilution factor of 1/10
