Abstract

Many proteins (intrinsically disordered proteins, IDPs) or regions of proteins (intrinsically disordered regions, IDRs) lack a well-defined 3D structure under physiological conditions. Albeit unfolded and highly dynamic, these proteins are not denatured; rather, intrinsic structural disorder is their native, functional state.
