What is the importance of phosphoryl-transfer potential and what factors differentiate the
stability of reactants vs. products?
Solution
Importance of phosphoryl-transfer potential:is defined as the ability of a compound to transfer its
phosphoryl group across a membrane.The phosphoryl transfer potential is an important form of
cellular energy transformation.
4 factors differentiate the stability of reactants and products:
1. Electrostatic (charge) repulsion.
2. Resonance stabilization.
3. Increase in Entropy.
4.Stabilization due to hydration..
