Write the definition of the rate of ATP hydrolyzation, R, in your own words. How would you calculate the rate of ATP hydrolyzation, R, if you know the step size of the motor protein, s, and the average vesicle velocity, v

Respuesta :

Answer:

ATP hydrolyzation is a process ( catabolic ) whereby chemical energy previously stored in phosphoanhydride bonds will be released by the process of bond splitting

R = Vesicle velocity / step size

Explanation:

The rate of ATP hydrolyzation can be explained  by relating ΔG ( Gibbs free energy)  and Q using this equation :  ΔrGo + RT ln(Q).   where ΔrGo = standard  Gibbs energy change.

while ATP hydrolyzation is a process ( catabolic ) whereby chemical energy previously stored in phosphoanhydride bonds will be released by the process of bond splitting

Calculating R

R = Vesicle velocity / step size
