Chapter 18, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Standard free energy change for the pyruvate kinase reaction should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.

The energy which is used to do work at given pressure and at given temperature especially at 1 bar and 298K respectively is called standard free energy change.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Equilibrium constant for the given reaction should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.

When the reactants and products don’t have any change in the particular time, then it is called equilibrium constant. It is denoted as K

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Ratio of [pyruvate][PEP] should be calculated.

Introduction:

In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.

Pyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2. Provide the mechanism for this reaction utilizing the TPP cofactor. Include the roles of all cofactors.
The mitochondrial ATP synthase has 10 copies of the F0 subunit “c”, and the [H ] in the mitochondrial inner membrane space (IMS) is 6.31 x 10-8 M and the [H + ] in the matrix is 3.16 x 10-9 M. Calculate the minimum membrane potential (∆Ψ) necessary to make ATP synthesis thermodynamically favorable. [Assume ∆G' ofphosphate hydrolysis of ATP is - 45 kJ/mol.]
B- Vitamins are converted readily into important metabolic cofactors. Deficiency in any one of them has serious side effects. a. The disease beriberi results from a vitamin B 1 (Thiamine) deficiency and is characterized by cardiac and neurological symptoms. One key diagnostic for this disease is an increased level of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in the bloodstream. How does this vitamin deficiency lead to increased serumlevels of these factors? b. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patient suffering from vitamin B 5 deficiency? c. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 2 /B 3 deficiency?
