Abstract | Show full text abstract about Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitously fo...» Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitously found in eukaryotic systems. Their lack of a well-defined structure suggests that their broad conformational ensemble is functionally advantageous. Here, we use single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to investigate the link between the polymer properties of one important IDP network system and the process of coupled binding and folding that leads to functional complexes. Our results suggest that the properties of the disordered IDP ensemble and the stability of the functional complexes are strongly correlated.
