- After adding a small amount of ATP labeled with radioactive phosphorus in the terminal position, [7-32P]ATP, to a yeast extract, a researcher finds about half of the 32P activity in P; within a few minutes, but the concentration of ATP remains unchanged. 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.

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_forward
- In 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.

- 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 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_forwardThe pKa values for glutamic acid are 2.19, 9.67, 4.25.

- Calculate the isoelectronic point, pl, from the pKa values for histidine, arginine and asparagine.arrow_forwardThe free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions is -30.5 kJ/mol. If ATP is hydrolyzed under standard conditions except at pH 5.0, is more or less free energy released? Why? More free energy is released because the increased [H+] stabilizes the negative charge on the ADP molecule. Less free energy is released because an acidic environment depletes cellular ATP levels. Less free energy is released because the reaction favors ATP production over hydrolysis due to the higher [H+] in solution. More free energy is released because the total cellular concentrations of ATP, ADP, and P; are greater at the lower pH. Correct Answerarrow_forwardConsider a system consisting of an egg in an incubator. The white and yolk of the egg contain proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. If fertilized, the egg transforms from a single cell to a complex organism. How does the entropy change in both the system (developing chick) and suroundings (the egg environment) drive the irreversible process of chick development? ☐ The release of glucose from sucrose, which produces energy needed for chick development, decreases entropy in the surroundings. Chick development increases entropy in the system, which causes a concominant decrease in entropy in the surroundings. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids within the egg break down into CO2 and H2O, which increases entropy in the surroundings. Chick development decreases entropy in the system, but this is smaller than the concominant increase in entropy in the surroundings.arrow_forward
