Dancing Protein Clouds: Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in the Norm and Pathology, Part C, Volume 183 represents a set of selected studies on a variety of research topics related to intrinsically disordered proteins. Topics in this volume include discussions on the evolution of disorder, consideration of the peculiarities of phase separation of the prion protein, a general discussion of the relationships between intrinsic disorder and protein functions, coverage of the structural and functional characterization of several important intrinsically disordered proteins, such as transcription factors, outer membrane porins, trans-membrane and membrane associated proteins with ID regions, discussion of molecular simulations of IDPs, and much more.
- Provides recent studies on the intrinsically disordered proteins and their functions, along with the involvement of intrinsically disordered proteins in the pathogenesis of various diseases
- Contains numerous illustrative materials (color figures, diagrams and tables) to help readers delve into the information provided
- Includes contributions from recognized experts in the field
Scientists working in the fields of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular medicine, biotechnology, pharmacology and drug discovery, molecular and cellular biology, as well as students of Medical Schools, Departments of Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, etc. This book is of interest to everybody, who is fascinated by the protein intrinsic disorder phenomenon, including graduate students, postdoctoral students, and experienced researchers studying intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), their structures, and functions
