Approaches for the Identification of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Domains

Abstract

Intrinsically disordered protein domains are those with high disorder proportion or a consecutive disordered region. They have no stable spatial structure but play an important role in the regulation of complex cellular functions and contribute to the increasing organism complexity during evolution. Here, we describe the approaches to predict intrinsic disorder values of residues in proteins and methods to identify the intrinsically disordered domains.
