A researcher purifies a mutant version of the glucokinase enzyme. She combines the purified glucokinase with glucose and ATP
to produce glucose 6-phosphate. She records the initial velocity (V) of glucose 6-phosphate production at various substrate
concentrations ([S]). She determines a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 6.2 mM for the mutant enzyme.

The glucose/glucose-6-phosphate substrate cycle involves distinct
reactions of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis that interconvert these
two metabolites. Assume that under physiological conditions,
[ATP] = [ADP]; [P;] = 1 mM.
Consider the glycolytic reaction catalyzed by hexokinase:
ATP + glucose ADP + glucose-6-phosphate
AG = - 16.7 kJ/mol
(a) Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction at 298°K,
and from that, calculate the maximum [glucose-6-phosphate]/
Iglucose] ratio that would exist under conditions where the reaction is
still thermodynamically favorable.
(b) Reversal of this interconversion in gluconeogenesis is catalyzed
by glucose-6-phosphatase:
glucose-6-phosphate + H20 = glucose + P
AG" = -13.8 kJ/mol
