Chapter 18, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

To calculate:

The ratio of [dihydroxyacetone-P]/[glyceralderhyde-3-P] in the erythrocyte from ΔG .

Introduction:

Glycolysis is a series of chemical reaction in the body which synthesizes energy in the form of ATP by breaking down Glucose molecules. Glycolysis is an extramitochondrial chemical reaction and takes place in the cytoplasm to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Triose Phosphate Isomerase help in the catalysis of conversion of dihydroxyacetone-Phosphate to Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate. The ΔG°' i.e. standard free energy change value for this reaction is +7.6kJ/mol. And the ΔG value i.e. observed free energy change for this reaction in erythrocytes is +2.4kJ/mol.

To calculate:

The concentration of glyceraldehyde-3-P.
