SOLVED:Coupling ATP Cleavage to an Unfavorable Reaction To explore the consequences of coupling ATP hydrolysis under physiological conditions to a thermodynamically unfavorable biochemical reaction, consider the hypothetical transformation X →Y, for which ΔG^'∘=20.0 kJ / mol (a) What is the ratio [Y] /[X] at equilibrium? (b) Suppose X and Y participate in a sequence of reactions during which ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. The overall reaction is
