(a)
Interpretation:
The standard energy change for the phosphoglycerate reaction should be calculated
Concept Introduction:
The energy which allows predicting the reaction spontaneously at a particular temperature is called free energy. The reaction which proceed both forward and backward reaction is called as equilibrium constant K.
Answer to Problem 15P
Explanation of Solution
In phosphoglycerate reaction ATP combine with hydrolysis to obtain following equation.
In the first reaction hydrolysis of 1,3-BPG mixes to give
In the second reaction, it is reverse process of hydrolysis of ATP. In this reaction we use opposite value of free energy.
In the coupled reaction free energy stated as
In phosphoglycereate kinase reaction the standard free energy obtained is

Interpretation:
The equilibrium constant of the reaction should be calculated.

- Equation for the esterification of glycerol and three ethanoic acidsarrow_forwardThe maximum saturation, 28.3ug of enzyme in 25ml water catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol at a rate of 2.5mm/min. Calculate the kcat in units of seconds if the enzyme has a molar mass of 65kg/mol.arrow_forward. Separating Glycated Hb From Normal Hb (Integrates with Chapters 5and 6.) Human hemoglobin can react with sugars in the blood(usually glucose) to form covalent adducts. The a-amino groups ofN-terminal valine in the Hb b-subunits react with the C-1 (aldehyde)carbons of monosaccharides to form aldimine adducts, whichrearrange to form very stable ketoamine products. Quantitation ofthis “glycated hemoglobin” is important clinically, especially fordiabetic individuals. Suggest at least three methods by which glycatedHb (also referred to as HbA1c) could be separated from normal Hband quantitatedarrow_forward
- Properties of an Enzyme of Prostaglandin Synthesis.Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are re-sponsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. b)Ibuprofen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, ibuprofen reduces inflammation and pain. Using the data in the first and third columns of…arrow_forwardThe turnover number for an enzyme that approximates Michaelis-Menten kinetics is known to be 500 min^-1.
