- What are the benefits of measuring the initial rate of a reaction Vå for use in kinetic studies? (This is a multi-select question). [ES] can be measured accurately. changes in [S] are negligible, so the value of [S] is known. changes in Km are negligible, so Km can be treated as a constant. V₁ = Vmax. --> A negligible amount of product has formed, so that the back reaction P -- need not be considered. ESThe formation of maltose, a disaccharide, from two glucose molecules, is not energetically favorable. However, if this reaction is coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP, the reaction occurs more favorably. Maltose + H2O = 2 Glucose , ΔG'o = -15.5 KJ/mol or -3.7 kcal/mol a. Determine if the coupled reaction will occur spontaneously at standard state through calculating the Gibbs Free Energy of Reaction. b. Calculate the equilibrium constant for each individual reaction, and for the coupled reaction (using free energy of reaction). Show that the equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction equals the equilibrium constants for the individual reactions multiplied together. c.
