7A. What category of enzyme would catalyze the reaction shown below? H3C NH₂ COOH L-alanine HOỌC- COOH a-ketoglutarate ALT HỌỌC- NH₂ COOH L-glutamate H3C COOH Pyruvate B. You are interested in converting L-alanine into L-glutamate but when you run the reaction in the lab you only get about % of the reactants to turn into L-glutamate and pyruvate. Could you use the enzyme above to produce more L-glutamate? Briefly explain.

7A. What category of enzyme would catalyze the reaction shown below? H3C NH₂ COOH L-alanine HOOC- COOH a-ketoglutarate ALT HOỌC NH₂ COOH L-glutamate + HIC-COOH Pyruvate B. You are interested in converting L-alanine into L-glutamate but when you run the reaction in the lab you only get about 3/4 of the reactants to turn into L-glutamate and pyruvate. Could you use the enzyme above to produce more L-glutamate? Briefly explain.
