TASK 1
What is the value of the equilibrium constant of ATP hydrolysis at 37 0C
ATP + H2O ADP + Pi
if ΔG0´ = −35 kJ . mol-1 , (R = 8.3143 J K–1 mol –1)
TASK 2
For the hydrolysis of 1 mole of ATP to ADP at 37 °C, the standard free enthalpy change ΔG0 =
−35 kJ . mol-1.
Calculate the free enthalpy change ΔG at the ratio
ATP/ADP = 100:1.
