A preformed binding interface in the unbound ensemble of an intrinsically disordered protein: evidence from molecular simulations.

Intrinsically disordered proteins play an important role in cellular signalling, mediated by their interactions with other biomolecules. A key question concerns the nature of their binding mechanism, and whether the bound structure is induced only by proximity to the binding partner. This is difficu...
