The glucose/glucose-6-phosphate substrate cycle involves distinct reactions of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis that interconvert these two metabolites. Assume that under physiological conditions, [ATP] = [ADP]; [P;] = 1 mM. Consider the glycolytic reaction catalyzed by hexokinase: ATP + glucose ADP + glucose-6-phosphate AG = - 16.7 kJ/mol (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction at 298°K, and from that, calculate the maximum [glucose-6-phosphate]/ Iglucose] ratio that would exist under conditions where the reaction is still thermodynamically favorable.

In biological systems, enzymes are used to accelerate the rates of certain bio- logical reactions. Glucoamylase is an enzyme that aids in the conversion of starch to glucose (a sugar that cells use for energy). Experiments show that 1 pg mol of glucoamylase in a 4% starch solution results in a production rate of glucose of 0.6 ug mol/(mL)(min). Determine the production rate of glucose for this system in the units of Ib mol/(ft³)(day). Ibmol Answer: 0.0639 ft day True False
In a major metabolic pathway involving the monosaccharide glucose, one of the reactions involve the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate summarized below together with accompanying free energy change: glucose + phosphate = glucose-6-phosphate + H,0 AG = 13.8 kJ · mol-1 (Reaction 1) In cells, the production of G6P (Reaction 1 above) is coupled to a reaction that involves the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP (shown below, Reaction 2) which makes the overall reaction much more favorable to the production of glucose-6-phosphate. ATP + H,O = ADP + phosphate (Reaction 2) Why do you think coupling the production of glucose-6-phosphate to the hydrolysis of ATP makes the overall reaction spontaneous? What can you say about the free energy change accompanying the hydrolysis of ATP (Reaction 2)?
