it’s easier to obtain thermodynamic data for the hydrolysis reaction, which is the reverse of the reaction shown above. The free energy change of the hydrolysis reaction was determined to be -1.5 kcal/mol. If the concentration of free amino acids in solution was 1 mM at equilibrium, what would the concentration of dipeptides be at equilibrium? You may assume that only single amino acids and dipeptides are involved in the reaction (as in, dipeptides won’t react with single amino acids to form tripeptides, and so on).
