Question 4
The standard Gibbs free energy change for the aldolase reaction in the direction of cleavage is +28 kJ mol-1. What does this tell you about the properties of this reaction in yeast cells that are actively producing ATP via glycolysis?

         a)  flux through this particular reaction will be
                in the direction of gluconeogenesis
         b)  the activity of this enzyme must be regulated
         c)  there must be another enzyme in yeast that bypasses this reaction
         d)  this is the rate limiting reaction in glycolysis
         e)  the concentration of FBP will be very much higher than
                the concentration of G3P
