The reaction of glutamate and ammonia to glutamine and water has a value of +14 kJ mol^-1 for . This is coupled with the ATP reaction (ATP + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ ADP + phosphate). The $∆\mathrm{G}°$ for this reaction is -30kJ mol^-1. The $∆\mathrm{G}°$ (kJ mol^-1) for the coupled reaction

Glutamate + NH₃ + ATP $\rightleftharpoons$ Glutamine + ADP + Phosphate

under equilibrium condition is

• 16

• -44

• -16

A protein is composed of leucine, isoleucine, alanine, glycine, proline, one lysine, one arginine and two cysteines connected by a disulfide bond. Conformational analysis indicates that the protein has elements of helix and beta structure. The protein is most likely

• a non-specific protease

• not an enzyme

• a lipase

• a flippase
