UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 98 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is small/flexible (glycine — backbone flexibility, no sidechain); the mutant is positively charged (arginine — guanidinium, strong H-bond donor). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Final Schema Categorization

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.85 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.776 confirms functional impact. Specific local contacts disrupted — priority for docking and pharmacological chaperone screening.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.85 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.776. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
