What would separate coupling from coincidence?

Which pathway perturbation would preserve lipid engagement yet eliminate the LC3 LIR receptor-binding response, and what distant conformational change would need to disappear with it to support causal coupling rather than coincident local changes?

What would establish coupling at the lipid-triggered site?

Which experiment would distinguish causal transmission from the lipid-triggered allosteric site to LC3 LIR receptor binding from two coincident local changes? Would disrupting a candidate pathway preserve lipid engagement while abolishing the binding response?

Which flap ensemble tracks darunavir resistance?

The reported increase in HIV-1 protease flap asymmetry along the darunavir resistance pathway invites an ensemble-level question: does resistance shift the occupancy of pre-existing flap conformations, alter exchange kinetics, or introduce a distinct state? A structural snapshot can establish one compatible geometry, but it cannot by itself distinguish these mechanisms. Which alternative flap conformations remain compatible with the functional measurements, and what evidence separates changed populations from changed dynamics?
