Question
Consider the two half-reactions below and their standard reduction potentials.
NAD+ + H+ + 2e → NADH
Elo= -0.32 V
a-Ketoglutarate + CO₂ + 2H+ + 2e → Isocitrate E' = -0.38 V
(a) What is AE" for the spontaneous redox reaction that is, the reaction that actually
occurs under standard biochemical conditions (pH 7)?
(b) Which of the following statements are correct under standard biochemical conditions?
i. The concentration of H+ is 1.0 M.
ii. The reaction NAD+ + Isocitrate → NADH + H+ + a-Ketoglutarate + CO₂ is favor-
able.
iii. NAD+ accepts electrons from isocitrate.
iv. The NAD → NADH reaction actually occurs in reverse. The a-ketoglutarate →
isocitrate reaction occurs as written.
(c) Calculate AG" for the reaction in (a). (pH 7, 25°C, pressure, 1 atm.)
(d) Suppose that the actual conditions are T = 25°C, pH = 7, CO₂ = 1 atm, [a-Ketoglutarate]
10 mM, [NAD+] = 2.5 mM, and [NADH] = 0.5 mM.
PAR
= 2 mM, [Isocitrate]
DE
What is the value of AG under those conditions?
(Hints: pH 7 is already included in AG". Similarly, 1 atm is the standard pressure of
CO2, which is also taken into account in AG.)
