Chapter 27, Problem 2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy charge and phosphorylation potential should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The energy charge (E.C) can be calculated using the following formula:

$\text{E}\text{.C}\text{.=}\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2[ATP]+[ADP]}{[ATP]+[ADP]+[AMP]}\right)$

Here,$[ATP]$,$[\text{ADP}]$and$[A\text{M}P]$is concentration of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine monophosphate respectively.
