Temperature-dependent solvation modulates the dimensions of disordered proteins
Open accessAbstract
Significance: A large number of naturally occurring proteins are now known to be unstructured under physiological conditions. Many of these intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) bind other biological macromolecules or ligands and are involved in important regulatory processes in the cell. For understanding the structural basis of these functional properties, it is essential to quantify the balance of interactions that modulate the heterogeneous conformational distributions of IDPs and unfolded proteins in general. In contrast to the behavior expected for simple polymers with temperature-independent intramolecular interactions, unfolded proteins become more compact when the temperature is raised. Here, we show that the temperature dependence of the interactions of the constituent amino acid residues with the aqueous solvent have a dominant effect on this behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
