The overall adenylate kinase reaction (2 ADP = AMP + ATP) is a combination of 3 reactions: ATP hydrolysis, pyrophosphate hydrolysis, and ATP formation. Show each step and provide the standard free energy (ΔG°′) for each and the overall reaction. If the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium and intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM and [ADP] = 0.5 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25 °C. Show all work. ATP (ADP+P) = -30.5 kj/mol; ATP (AMP+PP) = -45.6 kj/mol; PP = -19.2 kj/mol
Imidazoleglycerol‑phosphate dehydratase is an enzyme in the histine biosynthesis pathway. It catalyzes the E1 dehydration of D‑erthyro‑imidazole‑glycerol phosphate to imidazole acetol‑phosphate. This is a rare example of a biological E1 reaction, as most biological elimination reactions occur through E1cB instead.
In this reaction, D‑erthyro‑imidazole‑glycerol phosphate is first protonated to form a good leaving group. Then, the leaving group is ejected to form the resonance‑stabilized carbocation shown. Draw curved arrows forming the most stable resonance structure to explain why this reaction goes through an E1 mechanism.
Draw curved arrows to form the most stable resonance structure.

- One of the steps in the pentose phosphate pathway for glucose catabolism is the reaction of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate in the presence of a transaldolase to yield erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. (a) The first part of the reaction is the formation of a protonated Schiff base of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with a lysine residue in the enzyme followed by a retro-aldol cleavage to give an enamine plus erythrose 4-phosphate. Show the structure of the enamine and the mechanism by which it is formed. (b) The second part of the reaction is a nucleophilic addition of the enamine to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate followed by hydrolysis of the Schiff base to give fructose 6-phosphate.
