The aqueous reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme

Chapter 15, Problem 49QP

(choose chapter or problem)

The aqueous reaction

\(\text { L-glutamate }+\text { pyruvate } \rightleftarrows \alpha \text {-ketoglutarate }+\text { L-alanine }\)

is catalyzed by the enzyme l-glutamate–pyruvate aminotransferase. At 300 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.11. Predict whether the forward reaction will occur if the concentrations of the reactants and products are [l-glutamate] = \(3.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{M}\), [pyruvate] = \(3.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{M}\), [α-ketoglutarate] = \(1.6 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M}\), and [l-alanine] = \(6.25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}\).
