The hydrolysis of ATP to form ADP requires energy to break the bonds initially, but releases moreenergy as bond are remade making the reaction exothermic overall. The Gibbs free energy for thisreaction is -30.5 kJ/mole, meaning that it is also exergonic (ΔG=-). This energy can be used by otherbiological systems if this reaction is coupled with another less favorable one. In this case, the creation ofglucose-6-phosphate, C6H10O9P, this is a pivotal intermediate in many biochemical pathways.

The protein lysozyme unfolds at a transition temperature of 75.5 °C and the standard −1 enthalpy of transition is 509 kJmol . Calculate the entropy of unfolding of lysozyme at 25.0 °C, given that the difference in the constant pressure heat capacities upon unfolding is 6.28 kJK−1mol−1 and can be assumed to be independent of temperature. Hint: Imagine that the transition at 25.0 °C occurs in three steps: (i) heating of the folded protein from 25.0 °C to the transition temperature, (ii) unfolding at the transition temperature, and(iii) cooling of the unfolded protein to 25.0 °C. (Note: Because the entropy is a state function, the entropy change at 25.0 °C is equal to the sum of the entropy changes of the steps.)
