Intrinsically disordered proteins
July 7 | 1–2 p.m. EDT
Intrinsically disordered proteins, which don’t have just one three-dimensional structure, often carry out their biological roles through transition between structures. For example, a pH-dependent change in condensation effects iridescence in squid proteins; a selection of competing folded conformations drive neurodegeneration-related condensation of TDP53; and a transition from closed to open structure controls protease sensitivity of an enzyme important for asthma and allergies.
