The contribution of intrinsically disordered regions to protein function, cellular complexity, and human disease

MM Babu - Biochemical Society Transactions, 2016 - portlandpress.com
In the 1960s, Christian Anfinsen postulated that the unique three-dimensional structure of a
protein is determined by its amino acid sequence. This work laid the foundation for the …
