Here are four problems (5 pts each) involving the calculation ofDG°' for metabolic reactions we have discussed, based onexperimentally determined redox potentials. Calculate theDG°' for each reaction using the equation DG°' =-nFDE0' and the values forE0' given in Table 1. Showyour work and circle your answer.

Table 1. Reduction potentials for reductionhalf reactions:

1/2 O2 + 2H+ + 2e- ®H2O                                             E0' = +0.82 V

fumarate + 2H+ + 2e- ®succinate                                 E0' = +0.03 V

oxaloacetate + 2H+ + 2e- ®malate                               E0' = -0.17 V

pyruvate + 2H+ + 2e- ®lactate                                    E0' = -0.19 V

a-ketoglutarate + CO2 + 2H+ +2e- ® isocitrate             E0' = -0.38 V

FAD + 2H+ + 2e- ®FADH2                                           E0' = -0.22 V

NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- ®NADH +H+                                  E0' = -0.32 V

CoQ + 2H+ + 2e- ®CoQH2                                           E0' = +0.06 V

Problem 1. isocitrate + NAD+ ®a-ketoglutarate + CO2 + NADH

Problem 2. succinate + FAD ® fumarate +FADH2
