She then carries out the same experiment using ATP labeled with 32P in the central position, [ẞ-³2P]ATP, but the 32P does not appear in P; within such a short time. Which statements explain these results? Yeast cells reincorporate P; released from [ß-³2P]ATP into ATP more quickly than P¡ released from [y-³2P]ATP. Only the terminal (y) phosphorous atom acts as an electrophilic target for nucleophilic attack. The terminal (y) phosphoryl group undergoes a more rapid turnover than the central (B) phosphate group.

- The standard free energy, AGO, of hydrolysis of inorganic polyphosphate, polyP, is about −20 kJ/mol for each P; released. In a cell, it takes about 50 kJ/mol of energy to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. ○ P O Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) Is it feasible for a cell to use polyP to synthesize ATP from ADP? Why or why not? No. The reaction is unidirectional and always proceeds in the direction of polyP synthesis from ATP. Yes. If [ADP] and [polyP] are kept high, and [ATP] is kept low, the actual free-energy change would be negative. No. The synthesis of ATP from ADP and P; has a large positive G'o compared to polyP hydrolysis. Yes. The hydrolysis of polyP has a sufficiently negative AG to overcome the positive AGO of ATP synthesis. Correct Answerarrow_forwardIn the glycolytic pathway, a six-carbon sugar (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) is cleaved to form two three-carbon sugars, which undergo further metabolism. In this pathway, an isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate (as shown in the diagram) occurs two steps before the cleavage reaction. The intervening step is phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

Isomerization alters the molecular formula of the compound, allowing for subsequent phosphorylation. Isomerization moves the carbonyl group, setting up a cleavage between the central carbons. Isomerization causes the gain of electrons, allowing for the eventual release of NADH. Isomerization reactions cause the direct production of energy in the form of ATP.arrow_forwardFrom data in the table, calculate the AG value for the reactions.

- Macmillan Learning The phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate is the initial step in the catabolism of glucose. The direct phosphorylation of glucose by P, is described by the equation Glucose + P ← glucose 6-phosphate + H₂O AG = 13.8 kJ/mol Coupling ATP hydrolysis to glucose phosphorylation makes thermodynamic sense, but consider how the coupling might take place. Given that coupling requires a common intermediate, one conceivable mechanism is to use ATP hydrolysis to raise the intracellular concentration of Pi. The increase in P; concentration would drive the unfavorable phosphorylation of glucose by Pi- Is increasing the P; concentration a reasonable way to couple ATP hydrolysis and glucose phosphorylation? No. The phosphate salts of divalent cations would be present in excess and precipitate out. Yes. Increasing the concentration of P; would decrease K'eq and shift equilibrium to the right. Yes. The extra ATP hydrolysis would provide enough free energy to drive the…arrow_forwardThe phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate is the initial step in the catabolism of glucose. The direct phosphorylation of glucose by P, is described by the equation Glucose + P → glucose 6-phosphate + H₂O AG' = 13.8 kJ/mol In principle, at least, one way to increase the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is to drive the equilibrium reaction to the right by increasing the intracellular concentrations of glucose and Pj. The maximum solubility of glucose is less than 1 M, and the normal physiological concentration of G6P is 250 μM. Assume a fixed concentration of P, at 4.8 mM. The calculated value of K'cq is 4.74 × 10-³ M-¹. Calculate the intracellular concentration of glucose when the equilibrium concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is 250 μM, the normal physiological concentration. [glucose] = 10.99 Correct Answer Would increasing the concentration of glucose be a physiologically reasonable way to increase the concentration of G6P? No. Because the concentration of P,…arrow_forwardCalculate the equilibrium constant for the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate at 37.0 °C. K'eq = M-' In the rat hepatocyte, the physiological concentrations of glucose and P, are maintained at approximately 4.8 mM. What is the equilibrium concentration of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) obtained by the direct phosphorylation of glucose by P.? [G6P] = Does this reaction represent a reasonable metabolic step for the catabolism of glucose? Why or why not? Yes, because the value of AG" is positive. No, because the K'eq is too large for the reaction to proceed in the forward direction. Yes, because AG is negative at the calculated value of K'eq No, because [G6P] is likely to be higher than the calculated value. Marrow_forward
