Why does the reaction proceed readily as written under physiological conditions?
The reaction is pushed forward by the energetically favorable oxidation of fumarate to malate.
The NADH produced during glycolysis drives the reaction in the direction of malate oxidation.
The steady-state concentrations of the products are low compared with those of the substrates.
Endergonic reactions such as this occur spontaneously without the input of free energy.
Assuming an [NAD+]/[NADH] ratio of 8, a temperature of 25°C, and a pH of 7, what is the lowest [malate]/[oxaloacetate] ratio
at which oxaloacetate can be formed from malate?
[malate]
[oxaloacetate]

The oxidation of malate by NAD to form oxaloacetate is a highly endergonic reaction under standard conditions.
AG" = +29 kJ mol-¹ (+7 kcal mol-¹)
Malate + NAD+=oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
The reaction proceeds readily under physiological conditions.
