α-Synuclein has been implicated in the progression of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This work reports on the structural propensity and druggability of this protein using a combination of Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, and Virtual...

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins lack stable three dimensional structure under physiological conditions. IDRs are prevalent in nature, functionally important, and difficult to characterize experimentally due to their unstructuredness. As a result, many computational methods...

Background Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has two flexible tails that control the cardiac cycle. The C-terminal tail, cTnI135-209, binds actin to shut off cardiac muscle contraction, whereas the competing calcium-dependent binding of the switch region, cTnI146-158, by cardiac troponin C (cTnC)...
