Document Summary
Why does atp have such a high phosphoryl-group-transfer potential: resonance stabilization. Phosphate group isolate has more stable structures than y- phosphoryl group: electrostatic repulsion. Atp carries 4 negative charges at ph 7 these repel each other. This implies that repulsion is reduced when atp is hydrolyzed: stabilization due to hydration. More water can bind and stabilize adp + pi compared with. Atp less stable in atp form so higher potential energy so it wants to get rid of pi group. More oxidized something is the less energy it yields as a carbon fuel. Great visual of the process of most catabolic processes: Enols are important because they generate high energy c=c bonds (enols are. Oh at the beta carbon of the double bond. The simplest sugars have 3 carbons: aldoses vs. ketoses. D-glucose is more likely to for b-d-glucopyranose than alpha. Aldehyde group in open chain form of glucose can reduce copper and.
