Thermodynamics of red cell glycolysis.
1. Changes of Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy in red cells during steady-state glycolysis were discussed. 2. The heat production of red cells at various metabolic conditions was measured on a flow microcalorimeter with simultaneous analyses of lactate and other metabolites. The results were discussed in relation to enthalpy changes of the different metabolic steps in the glycolytic pathway.
