The debate revealed that no high-resolution structure exists for the critical hinge region (residues 130-160) that allegedly mediates APOE4's pathological conformation. This structural knowledge gap prevents rational design of allosteric modulators and limits understanding of the molecular basis for APOE4's dysfunction.
