Competing interactions give rise to two-state behavior and switch-like transitions in charge-rich intrinsically disordered proteins
The most commonly occurring intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are polyampholytes,
which are defined by the duality of low net charge per residue and high fractions of charged …
