A = alanine
The RAST KEGG viewer says there is no way to convert between pyruvate and alanine, however, the RAST spreadsheet calls enzyme 2.6.1.44 (an alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase).
C = cysteine

D = aspartic acid

E = glutamic acid

F = phenylalanine

G = glycine

H = histidine

I = isoleucine

K = lysine

L = leucine

M = methionine

N = asparagine
Our organism appears to have no enzyme that makes L-aasparagine from L-aspartate (asparaginases). On the RAST spreadsheet, however, RAST calls an "asparagine family protein" in bps from 1139281-1140141.
P = proline

Q = glutamine
Appears to be fairly complete when compared with Haloarcula marismortui, with one exception being a missing NAD synthase (EC 6.3.5.1).
R = arginine

S = serine

T = threonine

V = valine

W = tryptophan

Y = tyrosine
