Wheeler and Mathews (J. Biol. Chem. 287:31218–31222 (2012)) reportedthe NAD+ and NADH concentrations in yeast mitochondria as 20 mM and0.3 mM, respectively. Consider the malate dehydrogenase reaction, which is part of the citric acid cycle:malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H+ ΔG∘' = +29.7 kJ/molIf 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 37°C?
How much converted free energy would be needed to obtain 7.8 mM of ATP at 37 ° C, if both ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are at 0.3 mM?
Which yields more energy upon hydrolysis, ATP or glycerol 1-phosphate? Why?
