Coupled reactions occur where a nonspontaneous reaction is enabled by coupling it to a spontaneous reaction. This approach is common in biological settings. Determine if ATP could be generated by this biochemical reaction. You have calculated that cell potential is +0.637V. An example of a coupled reaction is the first step of glycolysis, the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate shown below. The net AGº for this reaction is HO HO н - Η Н. H H H -H H CH glucose phosphate anion glucose-6-phosphate AG = +14.0 kJ/mol -- ATP HO ADP phosphate anion AG = -30.5 kJ/mol
