Question
(a) Consider the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate by NAD*:
malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
In yeast mitochondria, where the pH = 8.1, this reaction is exergonic only at low oxaloacetate concentrations.
Assuming a pH = 8.1, a temperature of 37 °C, and the steady-state concentrations given below, calculate the
maximum concentration of oxaloacetate at which the reaction will still be exergonic.
malate + NAD*→ oxaloacetate + NADH + H*
lactate + NAD →→ pyruvate + NADH + H+
half reaction
Pyruvate + 2H+ + 2e → lactate
Pyruvate + CO₂ + H + 2e → malate
Intracellular steady state concentrations:
malate = 410 μM;
NAD = 20.0 mM;
pyruvate = 3.22 mM;
NADH = 290 μM;
AG=+29.7 kJ/mol
AG¹ = +25.1 kJ/mol
E° (V)
- 0.190
- 0.330
lactate 1.1 mM
CO₂ = 15.5 torr
