Short summary
A mutation in the thioesterase domains of the fatty acid synthase enzyme reduces the percentage of myristic acid. In silico simulations were performed to assess the mutation's impact on the catalytic site's affinity for ligands and its effect on intramuscular fatty acid profiles. Tertiary structures were generated, revealing increased affinity between the mutated enzyme and myristoyl. However, the structural changes have a more significant impact on the fatty acid profile than the altered affinity.
