Normally the capital ÎGo° for a reaction would be determined at standard temperature with each reactant at a concentration of 1
M. Letâs assume that the 1 M 2-PG solution will reach the same equilibrium ratio that would be observed under standard conditions. The enzyme enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-PG to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in living systems. You find that when you add enolase to your 2-PG solution it reaches an equilibrium with 0.68M PEP and 0.32 M 2-PG. What is the capital ÎGo° for this reaction? Use R= 1.987 cal/mol.K
a. +559 cal/mol
b. - 559 cal/mol
c. +379 cal/mol
d.-379 cal/mol
