You wish to separate and purify enzyme A from contaminating enzymes B and C. Enzyme A is found in the matrix of the mitochondria. Enzyme B is embedded in the mitochondrial membrane, and enzyme C is found in the peroxisome. Enzymes A and B have molecular weights of 60,000 Da. Enzyme C has a molecular weight of 100,000 Da. Enzyme A has a pI of 6.5. Enzymes B and C have pI values of 7.5. Design an experiment to separate enzyme A from the other two enzymes.
Suppose the concentration of glucose inside a cell is 0.1 mM and the
cell is suspended in a glucose solution of 0.01 mM.

10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cell? Assume
T = 37 °C.
(b) What would be the free energy change involved in transporting
10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cell if the intracel-
lular and extracellular concentrations were 1 mM and 10 mM,
respectively?
(c) If the processes described in parts (a) and (b) were coupled to ATP
hydrolysis, how many moles of ATP would have to be hydrolyzed in
order to make each process favorable? (Use the standard free energy
change for ATP hydrolysis.)
