Structural Context

Position 382 sits in a connecting loop. Neighbors: ARG383 (2.5 Å — partner of R383H — not yet in Atlas), LEU381 (2.5 Å), GLU385 (3.6 Å — partner of E385K), THR378 (3.8 Å).

Replacing L382 with proline introduces a backbone kink in the loop. The R383 partner residue (with E385 forming a likely salt-bridge or H-bond network) experiences perturbed geometry. The |ΔΔG| of 0.40 reflects modest fold cost; AlphaMissense 0.922 + Wolfram-like confirm severe consequence.

Amino-acid chemistry
Leucine (L) → Proline (P) — branched aliphatic hydrophobic replaced by rigid helix-breaking residue.
Position in the protein
Connecting loop · position 382 (pLDDT 85).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable. |ΔΔG| = 0.40 — fold survives. AlphaMissense 0.922 confirms severe consequence.

Mechanism: proline-induced backbone kink in the R383-E385 microregion. Therapeutic: same loop region (E385K adjacent).

Why this matters

L382P + E385K at adjacent positions — multi-variant target cluster in the 382-385 loop.
