Structural Context

Position analysis: THR490 (2.5 Å — partner of T490A), PHE488 (2.5 Å), VAL501 (4.4 Å). Same loop as T490A. The Atlas's neighbor extraction surfaces this variant's contacts and connects them to the broader multi-variant target landscape.

Druggability Assessment

Cat 3/4 — see structural prose. AlphaMissense below threshold (AM under-call class) but mechanism is structurally identified. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at contacts identified above, or wet-lab validation if pLDDT borderline/below 50.

Why this matters

Sister to T490A in same loop.
