Abstract: | The enthalpy change for phosphorylation of ADP3? by PEP3? catalysed by pyruvate kinase has been determined at 25°C using flow microcalorimetry. Measurements were made at pH 8 in three buffer systems TRIS, TEA and HEPES and also at pH 8.5 in TRIS buffer. The values of ΔH obtained, ?8.75 kJ mol?1 in TRIS, ?7.39 kJ mol? in TEA and ?6.19 kJ mol?1 in HEPES surprisingly display a dependence on the buffer system used. The enthalpy change was combined with free energy data to calculate the entropy change for the catalysed reaction. |
