2+
The activity of the Ca 2+ -ATPase is regulated reversibly under
normal conditions to maintain homeostatic concentrations of Ca²-
inside the sarcomere. However, in a rare genetic disorder, irreversible
activation of the Ca 2+ -ATPase can occur. Assuming 37 °C,
pH = 7.4, and the steadystate concentrations for ATP, ADP Pi,
and Ca2+
(out) given in part (a), calculate the minimum [Ca2+] inside
a sarcomere that has irreversibly activated Ca 2+ -ATPase (i.e., the
Ca2+-ATPase activity is always “on”).
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the
appropriate units.
. Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: fructose-
6-phosphate, 1.0 mM; fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, 10 mM; AMP, 0.1
mM; ADP, 0.5 mM; ATP, 5 mM; and P;, 10 mM. Is the phosphofruc-
tokinase reaction in muscle more or less exergonic than under stan-
dard conditions? By how much?

It would be converted into creatine phosphate and thus serve as a rapid means of replenishing ATP during muscle contraction.
