Chapter 25, Problem 25.28(choose chapter or problem)
(a) Give the products that result from the hydrolysis of the phosphate ester group of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), an important compound in the glycolysis pathway. OPO3 2C CO CH 2 2 phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) (b) The DG for the hydrolysis of PEP is 261.9 kJ mol1 (14.8 kcal mol1 ), which puts it well into the category of a high-energy compound. Most phosphate esters have a DG for hydrolysis of about 213.8 kJ mol1 (3.3 kcal mol1 ). Explain why the hydrolysis of PEP releases much more energy than the hydrolysis of an ordinary phosphate ester.
