In glycolysis, the enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase converts 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) to 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG).
a. The standard free energy change for this reaction at 37°C is +4.4 kJ/mol. Calculate the equilibrium constant. Type out all your work and underline the final answer. You will only receive credit for work that is shown.
b. Referring back to part a, if the concentration of 3PG at equilibrium for the reaction is 15.2 mM, calculate the equilibrium concentration of 2PG. Type out all your work and underline the final answer. You will only receive credit for work that is shown.
