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...
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...

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...

Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions (IDPs) are involved in vital biological processes. To understand the IDP function, often controlled by conformation, we need to find the link between sequence and conformation. We decode this link by inte...
Computational models have made significant progress in predicting the effect of protein variants. However, deciphering numerous variants of uncertain significance (VUS) located within intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) remains challenging. To ad...
