Question
Triose phosphate isomerase
In a key reaction of glycolysis, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is isomerized into
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) by the action of the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase:
CH₂OH
C=O
CH₂OPO3²-
DHAP
CHO
HC-OH
CH₂OPO3²-
G3P
AG°¹ +7.5 kJ/mol
Because AG is positive, the equilibrium lies to the left.
(a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction, assuming a temperature of 37 °C.
(b) In the cell, depletion of G3P makes the reaction proceed. What is the value of AG if the
concentration of G3P is kept at 1/100 of the value of the concentration of DHAP?
