Abstract excerpt
Many intrinsically disordered proteins fold upon binding to other macromolecules. The secondary structure present in the well-ordered complex is often formed transiently in the unbound state. The consequence of such transient structure for the binding process is, however, not clear. The activation domain of the activator for thyroid hormone and retinoid receptors (ACTR) is intrinsically disordered and folds upon...
