Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsically unstructured proteins and their functions.
H. Jane Dyson,Peter E. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: Many gene sequences in eukaryotic genomes encode entire proteins or large segments of proteins that lack a well-structured three-dimensional fold, whereas others constitute flexible linkers that have a role in the assembly of macromolecular arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsically unstructured proteins: re-assessing the protein structure-function paradigm.
Peter E. Wright,H. Jane Dyson +1 more
TL;DR: Many proteins that lack intrinsic globular structure under physiological conditions have now been recognized, and it appears likely that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level of control that allows rapid and accurate responses of the cell to changing environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsically disordered proteins in cellular signalling and regulation.
Peter E. Wright,H. Jane Dyson +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental, computational and bioinformatic analyses combine to identify and characterize disordered regions of proteins, leading to a greater appreciation of their widespread roles in biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of dynamic conformational ensembles in biomolecular recognition
TL;DR: Experimental evidence supports a new molecular recognition paradigm for processes as diverse as signaling, catalysis, gene regulation and protein aggregation in disease, which has the potential to significantly impact views and strategies in drug design, biomolecular engineering and molecular evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of intrinsically disordered regions and proteins.

TL;DR: Characterization of unannotated and uncharacterized protein segments is expected to lead to the discovery of novel functions as well as provide important insights into existing biological processes and is likely to shed new light on molecular mechanisms of diseases that are not yet fully understood.
