摘要

For more than a century, molecular and structural biology, biochemistry, and protein biophysics have been dominated by a "rigid" or "semi-rigid" view of a functional protein molecule or functional protein domain. These functional entities were assumed to possess unique and stable 3D structures, a view supported by numerous reports of protein structures determined using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy (as of May 27, 2014, there were 97,857 structures of proteins and protein-nucleic acid complexes in the Protein Data Bank, with 87,536 of these structures (89.5%) determined by X-ray crystallography). These experimentally determined structures depicted protein molecules as aperiodic crystals, in which both atoms and backbone Ramachandran angles are relatively fixed and possess low-amplitude thermal fluctuations around their equilibrium positions. Although the functions of many proteins clearly fit within this structure?function paradigm, where a unique amino acid sequence encodes a unique energetically stable 3D fold associated with conformational fluctuations that allow for unique biological function, recent studies have revealed that many functional proteins or functional protein regions do not have unique 3D structures under functional conditions. In fact, contrarily to the ordered proteins and domains, such biologically active intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) have no single, well-defined equilibrium structure and exist as highly dynamic, heterogeneous ensembles of conformers resulting from their relatively flat free-energy surface.
