The following reaction is a part of the TCA cycle:

succinate + FAD ⇄ fumarate + FADH2

3) The E°’ for the reduction of FAD is -0.22 V and the E°’ for the reduction of fumarate is 0.03 V. Calculate ΔE°’ for the full reaction given above. Show your work. Be mindful of units. (1 pt)

4) Use your answer from part (3) to calculate ΔG°’ for the full forward reaction given above. Use F = 96,500 J V-1 mol-1. Show your work. Be mindful of units. (1 pt)

5) The ΔG°’ for the forward reaction is positive, and yet we know the TCA cycle is able to proceed in the cell. Is this a contradiction of thermodynamic principles? In two to three sentences, briefly explain your reasoning. (2 pts)

6) Let’s look at the same reaction, but under a new set of conditions that more closely match intracellular concentrations: [FADH2] / [FAD] = 10 [succinate] = 1.7 mM [fumarate] = 100 µM Derive an equation to calculate ΔE from ΔE°’, n, R, T, F, and the concentrations provided above. n = number of electrons Use R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1, T = 298 K, and F = 96,500 J V-1 mol -1. Simplify the equation as much as you can before calculating ΔE. Show your work. Be mindful of units. Only round at the very end and write your answer out to four decimal places. (2 pts)
