Chapter 18.2, Problem 18.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation for hydrolysis of GTP to GDP has to be written. Also, the sign of energy change has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleotide is defined as basic unit for formation of nucleic acid that is essential for completion of metabolic reactions in body. The three basic components of nucleotide are as follows:

1. Nitrogen-containing base

2. Pentose sugar

3. Phosphate group

Nitrogen-containing base and pentose sugar are collectively known as nucleoside. When a phosphate group is attached with nucleoside then it is termed as nucleotide. Examples of nucleosides are GTP and ATP. Nucleotide on hydrolysis releases energy by cleavage of phosphoanhydride bond.

For a given acid HA, it was determined that at pH 6.0 the concentration of the conjugate base [A] was 0.075 M and the acid [HA] was 0.025 M. What percent of this acid is ionized at pH 6.0? What is the pKa of this acid? What pH would this acid be 50% lonized?
Use the following information corresponding to 1 Molar concentrations of reactants and products for Questions 7 -13.  ΔHo’ = -63.39 kJ/mol and   ΔS o’ = -0.1255  kJ/molK.  Glycerol + ATP  → ADP + 3-Phosphoglycerate: ΔHo’ = -63.39 kJ/mol and   ΔS o’ = -0.1255  kJ/molK.  At what temperature (if any) is this reaction  excergonic?  Report your answer in Kelvin using inequality signs with out and extra spaces added in. For example T=100.00K T>100.00K T<100.00K T</=100.00K  less than or equal to T>/=100.00K   greater than or equal to
