In the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi, the equilibrium concentration of ATP is too small to be measured accurately. A better way of determining K’eq, and hence ΔG◦’ of this reaction, is to break it up into two steps whose values of ΔG◦’ can be accurately determined. This has been done using the following pair of reactions (the first being catalyzed by glutamine synthetase): (1) ATP + glutamate + NH3 ⇌ ADP + Pi + glutamine + H+ ΔG1◦’= -16.3 kJ/mol (2) glutamate + NH3 ⇌ glutamine + H2O + H+ ΔG2◦’= 14.2 kJ/mol What is the ΔG◦’ of ATP hydrolysis according to these data and is the overall reaction spontaneous?
