A)Calculate the equilibrium constant for the following reaction at pH7.0 and 25 °C using the indicated ΔG'°value:
Glucose 6-phosphate + H2O?glucose + inorganic phosphate;ΔG'°= -3.3 kcal/mol Is this reaction favorable orunfavorable with respect to formation of glucose?
B) If a solution of glucose 1-phosphate is incubated with acatalytic amount of phosphoglucomutase, the glucose 1-phosphate istransformed to glucose 6-phosphate. At equilibrium the concentrations of the reaction components are:
Glucose 1-phosphate = 9 x 10-3 M
Glucose 6-phosphate = 18 x 10-2 M Calculate the K'eq and theΔG'° for this reaction at pH 7.0 and 25°C.
