Actinidia DRM1--an intrinsically disordered protein whose mRNA expression is inversely correlated with spring budbreak in kiwifruit. [PDF]
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a relatively recently defined class of proteins which, under native conditions, lack a unique tertiary structure whilst maintaining essential biological functions.

Dynamics and interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widespread in eukaryotes and participate in a variety of important cellular processes. Numerous studies using state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods have advanced our understanding of IDPs and ...

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Design of Different Degrees of Secondary Structure in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) [PDF]
In recent experimental studies of coupled folding and binding of IDPs investigators have adapted methods from the protein folding literature whereby point mutations are used to identify the degree to which different regions are pre-folded prior to the rate limiting step in binding and folding. These approaches assume a one-to-one correspondence between

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not have a well-defined structure, but they have key biological tasks in cancer development. By using the disordered cancer-related protein NUPR1 as a proof-of-concept, we have developed a new multidisciplinary

Diffusing protein binders to intrinsically disordered proteins
Proteins that bind to intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with high affinity and specificity could be useful for therapeutic and diagnostic applications1, 2, 3–4.

Conformational entropy in molecular recognition of intrinsically disordered proteins.
Broad conformational ensembles make intrinsically disordered proteins or regions entropically intriguing. Although methodologically challenging and understudied, emerging studies into their changes in conformational entropy (ΔS°conf) upon complex ...

Deciphering Mode of Action of Functionally Important Regions in the Intrinsically Disordered Paxillin (Residues 1-313) Using Its Interaction with FAT (Focal Adhesion Targeting Domain of Focal Adhesion Kinase). [PDF]
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play a major role in various cellular functions ranging from transcription to cell migration. Mutations/modifications in such IDPs are shown to be associated with various diseases.
