question 12

Multiple Choice

When studying an enzymatic reaction, should one consider $$\Delta$$ G, $$\Delta$$ G?, or $$\Delta$$ G?' when considering the thermodynamics of the reaction, and why?

• A) \[\Delta\]G⁰, because it considers standard conditions as well as biochemically relevant conditions such as the concentrations of substrates and products
• B) \[\Delta\]G⁰, because it considers standard conditions
• C) \[\Delta\]G, because it considers defined conditions such as pH
• D) \[\Delta\]G, because it considers concentrations of reactants as products.
• E) \[\Delta\]G⁰, because it considers entropy and enthalpy.
