An Approach to Identify SNPs in the Gene Encoding Acetyl-CoA Acetyltransferase-2 (ACAT-2) and Their Proposed Role in Metabolic Processes in Pig
Figure 4
Overview of the ACAT2 protein of Sus scrofa showing a mutation of isoleucine to valine (I>V) at position 122.
A 3D ribbon pattern was chosen to explain the mutation. a) The protein is coloured grey; the side chain of the residue is shown as small magenta balls. b) Close-up view of the mutation of isoleucine to valine (I>V) at position 122 in ACAT2 of Sus scrofa. The side chains of both wild-type and mutant residues are shown in green and red, respectively.
