PONDR

Description

    Disordered regions (DRs) are entire proteins or regions of proteins which lack a fixed tertiary structure, essentially being partially or fully unfolded. Such disordered regions have been shown to be involved in a variety of functions, including DNA recognition, modulation of specificity/affinity of protein binding, molecular threading, activation by cleavage, and control of protein lifetimes. Although these DRs lack a defined 3-D structure in their native states, they frequently undergo disorder-to-order transitions upon binding to their partners.
