Chapter 19, Problem 10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of [isocitrate]/[citrate] in given mitochondria and the [citrate] should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The free energy, $\text{ΔG}$ can be determined from the standard free energy change, $\Delta {\text{G}}^0$ with the below reaction:

  $\Delta \text{G=}\Delta {\text{G}}^0\text{+ RT}\times \text{ln}\frac{\left[\text{isocitrate}\right]}{\left[\text{citrate}\right]}$

Where R is universal gas constant, T is temperature and square brackets represent concentration.
