Sorry to break the thread about photosynthesis.
I wonder if anyone knows where is the best source on various values of Keq,
equilibrium constant. I am particularly interested in the following
reactions:
1) gluconate + ATP -----> 6-phosphogluconate(6PG) + ADP phosphorylation
2) 6PG -----> 2-keto-3-deoxy-phosphogluconate + H20 dehydration
3) 6PG + NADP ------> ribulose 5-phosphate + CO2 + NADPH
dehydrogenation & decarboxylation
Also, what do people usually do to determine the Keq value experimentally?
Thanks a lot for the information.
