Coupled reaction

Accordingly, the cell contains many enzymes that catalyze The energy released by most exergonic reactions in the cell is used, either directly or indirectly, to drive one particular endergonic reaction (fig. 4.15): the formation of The formation of ATP requires the input of a fairly large amount of energy.

Thus, when enzymes reverse this reaction and convert ATP to ADP and Pi, a large amount of energy is released.

A reaction where the the free energy of a thermodynamically favorable transformation, such as the hydrolysis of ATP, and a thermodynamically unfavorable one, are mechanistically joined into a new reaction (or may be envisaged to be so joined) is known as a coupled reaction. To put it another way, two or more reactions may be combined mechanistically such that a spontaneous reaction may be made 'drive' a non-spontaneous one, and we may speak of the combined reaction as being 'coupled' (see, for example, Silby & Alberty (2001), quoted below). The combined reaction may be catalyzed by an enzyme, in which case the 'thermodynamic push' is provided by the coupling agent (such as ATP) and the 'kinetic push' is provided by the enzyme. We need to take into account a very important point. As pointed out by Atkinson (1977), the coupled reaction is a different reaction to the reaction we are trying to 'drive', with different overall stoichiometry and hence a different overall equilibrium constant (Atkinson, 1977, p52). A coupled reaction does not "push a reaction past its equilibrium" (see Atkinson, 1977, p52). No enzyme, for example, can push any reaction past its position of equilibrium. This is forbidden by the second law. (If your favourite kinetic mechanism does not obey the second law there is, as can however, cause a reaction to proceed further than it normally would by catalyzing a different reaction (or series of reactions). Perhaps (in lysine biosynthesis from aspartate), na...

24 When can two reactions be coupled? What is meant by coupled reaction? A chemical reaction having a common intermediate in which energy is transfered from one side of the reaction to the other. What are coupled reactions in biology quizlet? A coupled reaction is an endergonic (unfavorable) reaction joined simultaneously to an exergonic (favorable) reaction; the exergonic reaction provides the energy required for the endergonic reaction to occur. What does it mean to be coupled in biology? Coupling. (Science: biochemistry) The linking of two independent processes by a common intermediate, for example the coupling of electron transport to oxidative phosphorylation or the atp adp conversion to transport processes. What is a coupled reaction in ATP? Explanation: ATP coupling is the process where hydrolysis of ATP (a thermodynamically favorable, negative delta G, or spontaneous reaction) is coupled with a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction (a reaction that cannot proceed without energy input). What role do coupled reactions play in biological organisms? The energy coupling mechanism plays an important role in balancing the 2 types of metabolisms going on inside the cells; anabolism and catabolism. Anabolic reactions require energy (endergonic in nature) to happen. To sustain anabolic reactions in a biological system, some source of energy has to be coupled with them. Is photosynthesis a coupled reaction? Photosynthesis represents a good example of energy coupling, as ener...
