Key Points

  • To validate the Fiedler Inversion Score v3 for classifying protein conformational transitions across a broader dataset.
  • Validation expanded from 25 to 98 protein pairs across 11 functional categories.
  • Classification based on cosine angle between Graph Laplacian Fiedler vectors of open and closed states.
  • Statistical significance analyzed using four tests, all p<0.001.
  • Mean |FIS|=0.7219 across 98 protein pairs with significant statistical support.
  • Identified three conformational types: Type I domain inversion (n=37), Type II rigidity change (n=7), Type III internal strain (n=29), and Mixed (n=25).
  • Discovered 5 additional Type II rigidity proteins targeted by approved drugs, achieving 100% clinical enrichment.

Abstract

FIS (Fiedler Inversion Score) v3: Expanded validation from n=25 to n=98 protein pairs across 11 functional categories. FIS classifies protein conformational transitions using the cosine angle between Graph Laplacian Fiedler vectors of open and closed states. Parameter-free, computed solely from Calpha coordinates at 8 Angstrom contact cutoff. v3 results (n=98): mean |FIS|=0. 7219, four statistical tests all p<0. 001 (t-test p=1. 35e-8, Wilcoxon p=1. 96e-9, permutation p<0. 0001, Kruskal-Wallis p=4. 24e-5). Three conformational types: Type I domain inversion n=37 (38%), Type II rigidity change n=7 (7%), Type III internal strain n=29 (30%), Mixed n=25 (26%). New finding: 5 additional Type II rigidity proteins beyond EGFR T790M -- FKBP51 (ratio=7. 8x, stress/PTSD target), MMP9 (5. 6x, anti-MMP antibodies), CRBN (4. 3x, lenalidomide/thalidomide molecular glue), Gyrase B (3. 4x, fluoroquinolones), ER-alpha (2. 2x, fulvestrant). All 7 Type II proteins are targets of approved drugs (100% clinical enrichment). Pipeline open-source (fisₚipelineₙ100. py), raw data deposited (FISᵣesultsₙ98. csv).
