Glycolysis

Free Energy of Hydrolysis

Coupling

$PEP + H_ 2O \longrightarrow Pyruvate + P_ i$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = -62 kJ/mol$

$ADP + P_ i \longrightarrow ATP + H_ 2O$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = +30 kJ/mol$

Since they share the common reactacts, this two reaction could be combined together, which was called coupling

$PEP + ADP \overset{Pyruvate Kinase}{\longrightarrow} Pyruvate + ATP$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = -32 kJ/mol$

Coupling:

  1. Common reactacts
  2. Catalyzed by one enzyme

Example 1

$PEP + H_ 2O \longrightarrow Pyruvate + P_ i$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = -62 kJ/mol$
$Glucose + P_ i \longrightarrow Glucose^ {_ -} 6 ^{_ -} phosphate + H_ 2O$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = +14 kJ/mol$
The Enzyme were dose not shared by this two reaction
As as result, they can not be coupled

Example 2

$ATP + H_ 2O \longrightarrow ADP + P_ i$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = -30 kJ/mol$
$Glucose + P_ i \longrightarrow Glucose^ {_ -} 6 ^{_ -} phosphate + H_ 2O$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = +14 kJ/mol$

Coupled Reaction:

$Glucose + ATP \overset{hexokinass}{\longrightarrow} Glucose^ {_ -} 6 ^{_ -} phosphate + ADP$
$\ \ \ \ \Delta G^ {\circ} = -16 kJ/mol$
