Ask this protein

• What does it look like? 443 residues: 37% very high confidence, 26% very low.
• Where could a drug bind?
• Can I print it and fill it in by hand?

The next questions its numbers invite

• Is that floppy bit broken or working? 117 of its 443 residues are below pLDDT 50.
• Where should it be drawn sketchy? 117 of its 443 residues are below pLDDT 50.
• Could it be more than one piece, and how sure are they of each other? It is 443 residues long; long chains are often built from domains.
• What does a single-chain model leave out? Every AlphaFold DB entry is one chain on its own: no partners, metals or cofactors.

These follow-ups come from a short hand-written table that reads only the numbers above: many residues below 50 invites the disorder games; most at 90 or above invites the one about movement. They are questions to try, not findings about this protein.
