Hard to say. You need to do some literature research first, and find if you
are interested in it or not, or you believe there is a special/significant
function of the protein.

If your lab cant repeat those experiments after several attempts, it's either
due to your lab technical problem, or due to their hypothesis (they just made
up some part of the data, not whole set though). In either case, you will have
a hard time to work it out. Even you figured it out, your "NOT-Da-Niu" boss
will still have difficulty to publish it in good journals.

In short, it's unlikely a good/fruitful project according to current info.
BTW, you dont wanna throw whole 3-4 years for low yield project.
