Question

3) The enzyme aldolase catalyzes the conversion of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP)
to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehide-3-phosphate (G3P). The
reaction is
FDP ⇄ DHAP + G3P , ∆rG
0
(298.15 K) = 23.8 kJ mol−1
In red blood cells the concentration of these species are [FDP] = 35 µM, [DHAP] =
130 µM, and [G3P] = 15 µM. (Remember that 1.0 µM = 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1
. The
standard state for reactions in solution can be taken as c
0 = 1.0 mol L−1
).
Calculate ∆rG in a red blood cell at 25 0C. Will the reaction occur spontaneously
in the cell at this temperature?
