You Are Studying a Biochemical Pathway That Requires ATP as an Energy

You are studying a biochemical pathway that requires ATP as an energy source.To your dismay, the reactions soon stop, partly because the ATP is rapidly used up and partly because an excess of ADP builds up and inhibits the enzymes involved.You are about to give up when the following table from a biochemistry textbook catches your eye. $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\text {hydrolysis}$
$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\underline{\text {reaction}}$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$ $\Delta G^{\circ}$
$\text { creatine + ATP } \quad\quad\quad\quad \stackrel{\text { enzyme A }}{\longrightarrow} \text { creatine phosphate + ADP +3 kcal/mole }$

$\text { ATP }+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \stackrel{\text { enzyme B }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{ADP}+\text { phosphate } \quad \quad\quad\quad-7.3 \mathrm{kcal} / \text { mole }$

$\text { pyrophosphate }+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \stackrel{\text { enzyme } \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \text { phosphate } \quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad-7 \mathrm{kcal} / \text { mole }$

glucose 6-phosphate $+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad\stackrel{\text { enzyme D }}{\longrightarrow}$ qlucose + phosphate $\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad-3.3 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{mole}$
