standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP
Not what you're looking for?
Textbooks quote the value of standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP equal to -7.3 kcal/mole. A certain molecular machine uses one ATP per ste and does useful work equal to 14 kT. This job reconciles these statements, using the fact that typical intracellular concentration are [ATP] = 0.01, [ADP] = .001, and [Pi}= .01.

Solution Summary
This job reacts to standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP.
Solution Preview
Cells use the free energy stored in ATP molecules to drive reactions that would otherwise be non-spontaneous under physiological conditions. This is accomplished by coupling the non-spontaneous reaction with the highly ...
