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
Appears to be missing EC numbers 2.6.1.44 and 1.4.4.2. The RAST spreadsheet calls 2.6.1.44.

H = histidine
Appears to be complete.

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 exceptions being a missing NAD synthase (EC 6.3.5.1), a carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (EC 6.3.4.16).

R = arginine

S = serine
Matches Haloarcula marismortui, except in RAST KEGG diagram, it appears to be missing enzyme 2.7.8.8, which is a CDP-diacylglycerol-serine O-phosphatidyltransferase. However, according to the RAST spreadsheet, there is a CDP-diacylglycerol-serine O-phosphatidyltransferase from bps 1440328-1439621.

T = threonine
Appears to be complete.

V = valine

W = tryptophan

Y = tyrosine
