Chapter 18, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in the concentration of AMP.

Concept Introduction:

Inter conversion of ATP, ADP and AMP which is called as adenine nucleotides are catalyzed by the Phosphotransferase enzyme, called adenylate kinase. It is also called ADK or myokinase.

Calculation about delta standard G, delta H, detla S. Question attached as photo below. And my answer attempted. Need my answer verified and corrected if neccesary. Please let me know where I got wrong and what key ideas I had miss. Thanks.
If intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, and [Pi] = 1.0 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25°C under the condition that the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.
Comparison of Fetal and Maternal Hemoglobins.Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the O2-saturation curves of fetal and maternal blood are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Fetal erythrocytes contain a structural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting oftwo a and two g subunits (α2γ2), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α2β2).   a)Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain.   b)What is the physiological significance of the different O2 affinities?   c)When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O2-saturation curves (and consequently the O2affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O2-saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the graph. What is the effect of BPG on the O2affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used…
