One way our bodies produce ATP is to couple the formation of ATP from ADP with the hydrolysis of phosphoenopyruvate (PEP) ,as shown below.
PEP + ADP + H+(aq) pyruvate + ATP rG '=?
Given the following thermodynamic data,
PEP + H2O( ) pyruvate + HPO42-(aq) rG ' = -61.9 kJ/mol-rxn
ATP + H2O( ) ADP + HPO42-(aq) + H+(aq) rG ' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn
Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of reaction for the formation of ATP from the hydrolysis of PEP.
A) 92.4 kJ/mol-rxn
B) -31.4 kJ/mol-rxn
C) -92.4 kJ/mol-rxn
D) 31.4 kJ/mol-rxn
E) -46.7 kJ/mol-rxn
