For the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase: Glucose + ATP → glucose 6-phosphate + ADP the equilibrium constant, Keq, is 7.8 × 102. In living E. coli cells, [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, [glucose] = 2 mM, and [glucose 6-phosphate] = 1 mM. Which of the following conclusions made on the basis of the above calculations is incorrect?
