Abstract excerpt
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) carry out many biological functions. They lack a stable three-dimensional structure, but rather adopt many different conformations in dynamic equilibrium. The interplay between local dynamics and global rearrangements is key for their function. In IDPs, proline residues are significantly enriched. Given their unique physicochemical and structural properties, a more...
