A new algorithm sheds light on ‘disordered’ #proteins

The #IntrinsicallyDisorderedProteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making #structurePrediction particularly challenging. These proteins although exhibit chaotic and ‘disordered’ structures, they still perform essential functions.

Developing a system to study proteins without fixed structures
Researchers propose a novel pipeline that makes the analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins much faster and more convenient

I do love #IntrinsicallyDisorderedProteins but pinning them down to do a crystal structure is kind of against the spirit? NMR structures giving dynamic representations have served the field well
