. Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: fructose-
6-phosphate, 1.0 mM; fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, 10 mM; AMP, 0.1
mM; ADP, 0.5 mM; ATP, 5 mM; and P;, 10 mM. Is the phosphofruc-
tokinase reaction in muscle more or less exergonic than under stan-
dard conditions? By how much?
Sources of Glucose during Starvation. The typical human adult uses about 160 g of glucose per day, 120 g of which is used by the brain. The available reserve of glucose (~20 g of circulating glucose and ~190 g of glycogen) is adequate for about one day. After the reserve has been depleted during starvation, how would the body obtain more glucose?
Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22). The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well.
How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)?
What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?
What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
