文摘

The standard Gibbs energies of formation of species in the guanosine triphosphate and the xanthosine triphosphate series have been calculated on the basis of the convention that the standard Gibbs energy of formation for the neutral form of guanosine is equal to zero in aqueous solution at 298.15 K and zero ionic strength. This makes it possible to calculate apparent equilibrium constants for a number of enzyme-catalyzed reactions for which apparent equilibrium constants have not been measured or cannot be measured directly because they are too large. The eventual elimination of this convention is discussed. This adds ten reactants to the database BasicBiochemData3 that has 199 reactants. The standard transformed Gibbs energies of formation of these ten reactants are used to calculate apparent equilibrium constants at 298.15 K, 0.25 M ionic strength, and pHs 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The pKs, standard Gibbs energies of hydrolysis, and standard Gibbs energies of deamination are given for the reactants in the ATP, IMP, GTP, and XTP series.
