## Research Path Decision Tree

```
ΔΔG < 2  + binding site affected   →  CATEGORY 3 — docking experiments
ΔΔG 2–4                            →  CATEGORY 2 — pharmacological chaperones
ΔΔG > 4                            →  CATEGORY 1 — gene therapy
pLDDT < 50                         →  CATEGORY 5 — IDR, experimental only
Stable fold + functional site hit  →  CATEGORY 4 — site-specific docking
```

## Final Schema Categorization

**Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted**

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call).</strong> |ΔΔG| 0.86. AlphaMissense 0.12 below threshold but multi-phenotype confirms.<br/><br/>Mechanism: charge loss near L723-P724 loop region. Therapeutic: site-directed at the 725-734 lumenal microregion.

**Why this card matters.** D729N continues charge-loss class — adjacent to L723-P724 cluster region.
