Plausible geometry can be mistaken for functional proof
RESEARCH PROBLEM
How can molecular structures be explored while keeping provenance and prediction confidence visible?
Use an interactive structure view together with experimental metadata or prediction-confidence measures and clearly separate visual hypotheses from validated interactions.
WHY THIS IS DIFFICULT
Local uncertainty is hidden by an attractive global fold
Experimental and predicted structures are often discussed alike
RESPONSIBLE APPROACH
Identify provenance, method and confidence
Inspect chains, residues and candidate regions
Record limitations before proposing an interaction hypothesis
