Main supporting evidence
Risks to review
Terms and data sources used on this page
PDB: experimentally determined structures from the Protein Data Bank. These are the strongest structural evidence, but may cover only part of the protein.
AlphaFold DB model: a precomputed predicted structure downloaded from AlphaFold Database/UniProt, not an experiment performed here.
ColabFold model: a predicted structure generated for this workspace; interpret it with coverage and confidence.
pLDDT: confidence score for predicted structures. High values support local geometry; low values mean the region should not drive pocket interpretation.
FPocket / P2Rank: software tools that predict possible ligand-binding pockets on a 3D structure. They are useful screening signals, not experimental validation.
Druggability: a pocket-based estimate of whether a small molecule could bind productively. It does not mean a drug already exists.
PDB ligand: a compound observed in an experimental structure. Direct same-protein records are stronger than homolog-transferred records.
ChEMBL: a public database of measured compound bioactivity. Direct entries are stronger than entries transferred from similar proteins.
ZINC: a purchasable-compound database. Here it marks proposed candidates from chemical similarity, not measured binders.
LigQ / LigQ_2: an internal Target pipeline step that gathers PDB, ChEMBL, and ZINC ligand evidence for each protein.
Off-target: sequence similarity to proteins we prefer not to hit, such as human proteins or beneficial gut microbiome proteins.
DEG: Database of Essential Genes. A match suggests the protein resembles genes known to be essential in other organisms.
Roary / CoreCruncher: pan-genome tools used to decide whether a gene is core across analyzed strains or accessory/strain-specific.
EC / GO: functional annotations: EC describes enzyme reactions; GO describes biological process, molecular function, or cellular component.
KEGG pathway: a curated metabolic route label used here to group reactions imported from the metabolic model.
Chokepoint: a metabolic reaction that is the only producer or consumer of a metabolite in the imported model.
Prioritization evidence
Selectivity, essentiality, structural confidence, conservation, and predicted binding-site evidence.
Off-target risk
- Human off-target
- Hit
- Human identity (%)
- 35.772 Lower values reduce human off-target concern.
- Human E-value

Structure confidence
- ColabFold pLDDT
- 91.57 0-100 confidence; >70 supports local structural interpretation.
Binding-site evidence
AlphaFold DB / UniProt modelThe selected pocket score is the FPocket value used for ranking after applying the curated structure priority. It estimates small-molecule pocket quality; it is not experimental binding evidence. The 3D viewer may show a different loaded structure, so visible pockets can differ.

9- GO:0051539 Binding to a 4 iron, 4 sulfur (4Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of four iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands.
- GO:0035596 Catalysis of the addition of a methylthioether group (-SCH3) to a nucleic acid or protein acceptor.
- GO:0016740 Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor).

In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic.

Ligands grouped by evidence source. PDB ligands keep the source crystal visible, and loaded crystals can be opened directly in the structure viewer.
Structural ligand evidence is available for this target.
Highest-confidence structural evidence: ligands co-crystallized with this exact protein. If the source PDB is loaded in Target, use Open crystal to inspect it in the structure viewer.
No PDB structure with a co-crystallized ligand found for this exact protein.
Structural evidence inferred from similar proteins. The source crystal indicates where the ligand was observed; the UniProt column identifies the homologous protein carrying that ligand.
Experimental bioactivity from ChEMBL measured directly on this protein. Score = pchembl (−log Ki/IC₅₀; higher = more potent).
No ChEMBL bioactivity data found for this exact protein.
Bioactivity inferred from similar proteins in ChEMBL. Score = pchembl (−log Ki/IC₅₀; higher = more potent).
No ChEMBL hits found through similar proteins.
Proposed virtual-screening candidates from ZINC. Score = Tanimoto similarity to a known binder (0–1; higher = more similar).
