Exploring the molecular grammar of IDP assembly and condensation at ultra-high throughput
The last years have seen unprecedented breakthroughs in protein structural biology, with the resolution revolution in cryo-electron microscopy and the release of AlphaFold. The combination of advanced experimental structural biology, machine learning algorithms and molecular simulations has put the fully quantitative description of how the structure and interactions of folded proteins are defined by their amino acid sequence within close reach. This leaves us with a final frontier in protein science, namely to achieve a similar level of understanding for intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The energy landscapes of IDPs often comprise a multitude of nearly isoenergetic states, that…
