It’s demanding to measure the standard free-energy change associated with the hydrolysis of ATP because the minute amount of ATP remaining at equilibrium is difficult to measure accurately. The value of ΔG'º can be calculated indirectly, however, from the equilibrium constants of two other reactions (the first of which should look familiar) that have less favorable equilibrium constants:

glucose-6-phosphate + H2O à glucose + Pi                    Keq'=270

ATP + glucose à ADP + glucose-6-phosphate   Keq'=890

Using this information, calculate ΔG'º for hydrolysis of ATP in units of kcal/mol.

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] and [Pi]=1mM. Consider the following glycolytic reaction catalyzed by hexokinase: ATP+glucose⇌ADP+glucose−6−phosphateΔG∘′=−16.7kJ/mol Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction at 298 K, From the equilibrium constant, calculate the maximum [glucose-6-phosphate]/[glucose] ratio that would exist under conditions where the reaction is still thermodynamically favorable.
