For the hydrolysis of phosphocreatine: Phosphocreatine + H2O==creatine + Pi the standard state deltaG is -42.8 kJ/mol at 37 degrees celsius. If in a given cell the concentration of creatine is 1.7mM, phosphate is 5.8mM, and phosphocreatine is 6.4mM, what is the deltaG for hydrolysis of phosphocreatine in the cell? Nearest 0.
The equilibrium constant for the denaturation of a protein is determined to be 0.13 at 59.8 degrees Celsius. What is the standard state of delta G for the reaction, in kJ/mol to 0.01kJ/mol.
The phosphate system serves to buffer the intracellular fluid of cells at physiological pH because pK2 (7.20) lies near the normal pH range of 6.9-7.4.

If the following peptide was the substrate for Carboxypeptidase A. Which of the indicated red arrows correctly identifies the scissile bond? See attached file for full problem description.
1) Carboxypeptidase A, a zinc-containing enzyme, hydrolyzes the C- terminal peptide bonds of polypeptides and/or proteins. In the enzyme- substrate complex, the zinc ion is coordinated to three enzyme side chains, the carbonyl oxygen of the scissile peptide bond, and a water molecule. A plausible model for the enzyme's reaction

Contrary to the legend camels do not store water in their humps, which actually consist of a large fat deposit. How can these fat deposits serve as a source of water? Calculate the amount of water (in liters) that can be produced by the camel from 1 kg (0.45 lb) of fat. Assume for simplicity that the fat consists entirely
A weight-reducing diet heavily promoted in the past required the daily intake of "liquid protein" (soup of hydrolyzed gelatin), water and an assortment of vitamins. All other food and drink were to be avoided. People on this diet typically lost 10-14 lb in the first week. (a) Opponents argued that the weight loss was al
