  • Title: Thermodynamics of the purine nucleotide cycle.
    Author: Alberty RA.
    Journal: Biophys Chem; 2006 Jun 20; 122(1):74-7. PubMed ID: 16603306.
    Abstract:
    Since the standard Gibbs energies of formation are known for all the species in the purine nucleotide cycle at 298.15 K, the functions of pH and ionic strength that yield the standard transformed Gibbs energies of formation of the ten reactants can be calculated. This makes it possible to calculate the standard transformed Gibbs energies of reaction, apparent equilibrium constants, and changes in the binding of hydrogen ions for the three reactions at desired pHs and ionic strengths. These calculations are also made for the net reaction and a reaction that is related to it. The equilibrium concentrations for the cycle are calculated when all the reactants are initially present or only some are present initially. Since the concentrations of GTP, GDP, and P(i) may be in steady states, the equilibrium concentrations are also calculated for the system at specified steady-state concentrations.
