## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 587** | **77.38** — well-folded |

## 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>Cat 3/4 — see structural prose.</strong> AlphaMissense below threshold (AM under-call class) but mechanism is structurally clear from neighbor analysis. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at the contacts identified above.

**Why this card matters.** Tandem-aromatic creation in loop.
