The involvement of protein intrinsic disorder in essential biological processes, it is well known in structural biology. However, experimental methods for detecting intrinsic structural disorder and directly measuring highly dynamic behavior of prote...
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are closely associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Due to the highly dynamic nature of IDPs, their structural determination and conformatio...
The mis-folding and aggregation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) such as α-synuclein (αS) underlie the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. However, targeting αS with small molecules faces challenges due to the lack of defi...
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles that can concentrate hundreds of different proteins in cells to operate essential biological functions. However, accurate identification of their components remains challenging and biased towards p...

Proteins are inherently dynamic, and their conformational ensembles play a crucial role in biological function. Large-scale motions may govern the protein structure-function relationship, and numerous transient but stable conformations of intrinsical...
Identification of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins is essential for understanding fundamental cellular processes. The IDRs can be divided into long disordered regions (LDRs) and short disordered regions (SDRs) according to their le...
We use a combination of Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation results and deep learning (DL) strategies for the rapid identification of large structural changes caused by missense mutations in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). We used ∼6500 IDP s...

This study explores the role of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome and their potential as targets for small-molecule drug discovery. Experimentally validated intrinsic disordered regions from the literature were utiliz...
BACKGROUND: The recent AI breakthrough of AlphaFold2 has revolutionized 3D protein structural modeling, proving crucial for protein design and variant effects prediction. However, intrinsically disordered regions-known for their lack of well-defined ...
