Chambers and coworkers have reported [NAD+] and [NADH] concentrations in yeast mitochondria as 20 mM and 0.3 mM, respectively. Consider the Malate Dehydrogenase reaction below: Malate + NAD+ → Oxaloacetate + NADH + H+ ∆G0’ = +29.7 kJ/mol If Malate concentration in yeast mitochondria is 0.4 mM what is the maximum concentration of oxaloacetate needed to make the reaction exergonic at pH 7.0 and 370C?

Consider the malate dehydrogenase reaction, part of tricarboxylic acid cycle, shown below. malate + NAD+ oxaloacetate + NADH + H+ ΔGo ’ = 29.7 kJ/mol. It has been reported that the concentrations of NAD+ and NADH in yeast mitochondria were 20 mM and 0.3 mM, respectively. If we performed similar measurements and also determined that the concentration of malate in yeast mitochondria was 0.5 mM and that of oxaloacetate was 0.1 µM at pH 7.0 at 37˚C, use this information to calculate the free energy of the reaction of yeast in mitochondria.

Compare the delta ΔG0' values for the oxidation of succinate by NAD+ and by FAD. Use the data given in Table 18.1 to find the E0' of the NAD+-NADH and fumarate-succinate couples, and assume that E0' for the FAD – FADH2 redox couple is nearly 0.05 V. Why is FAD rather than NAD+ the electron acceptor in the reaction catalyzed by succinate dehydrogenase?

The objective of this problem is to calculate the number of moles of reduced NAD and FAD generated per one mole of glucose consumed by bacteria, growing under aerobic conditions. The consumption of glucose by the bacteria is characterized as follows: for every 1 mole of glucose consumed, 70% is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O, while 30% of the glucose is diverted to anabolic reactions prior to pyruvate undergoing oxidative decarboxylation. For the purposes of this problem, you should assume that all pyruvate coming to the TCA cycle is completely oxidized and none is diverted to anabolic processes at the diversion points of oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate or succinyl-CoA. Calculate the NADH and FADH generated
