Question: ( 5 pt ) ( a ) Consider the oxidation of malate to phosphoenolpyruvate ( PEP ) and C O 2 by N A D

(5 pt)(a) Consider the oxidation of malate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and CO2 by NAD+:
Malate +NAD++GTPPEP+CO2+GDP+NADH+H+
Given the thermodynamic data and the intracellular concentrations of reactants and products below, calculate G
at pH=8.1 and 37C for the reaction shown below (which takes place in the mitochondrial matrix)
GTP+H2OGDP+Pi+H+,G@1=-32.2kJmol
Oxaloacetate +Pi+H+PEP+CO2+H2O,G@1=+33.4kJmol
PEP+H2O pyruvate +Pi,G@1=-61.9kJmol
Steady-state intracellular concentrations:
