A proline switch explains kinetic heterogeneity in a coupled folding and binding reaction

How intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) undergo a coupled folding and binding reaction with their molecular targets remains to be understood. Here authors use single-molecule FRET to assess the contribution of cis/trans isomerization of peptidyl-prolyl bonds in regulating IDP interactions.
