Best practices for the manual curation of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in DisProt
The DisProt database is a significant resource containing manually curated data on experimentally validated intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and regions (IDRs) from the literature. Developed in 2005, its primary goal was to collect structural and functional information into proteins that lack a fixed three-dimensional (3D) structure. Today, DisProt has evolved into a major repository that not only collects experimental data but also contributes significantly to our understanding of the IDPs/IDRs roles in various biological processes, such as autophagy or the life cycle mechanisms in viruses, or their involvement in diseases (such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders). DisProt offers detailed information on the structural states of IDPs/IDRs, including state transitions, interactions, and their functions, all provided as curated annotations. One of the central activities of DisProt is the meticulous curation of experimental data from the literature. For this reason, to ensure that every expert and volunteer curator possesses the requisite knowledge for data evaluation, collection, and integration, training courses and curation materials are available. However, biocuration guidelines concur on the importance of developing robust guidelines that not only provide critical information about data consistency but also ensure data acquisition.This guideline aims to provide both biocurators and external users with best practices for manually curating IDPs and IDRs in DisProt. It describes every step of the literature curation process and provides use cases of IDP curation within DisProt. Database URL: https://disprot.org/

Conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins and flexible multidomain proteins
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and multidomain proteins with flexible linkers show a high level of structural heterogeneity and are best described by ensembles consisting of multiple conformations with associat…
The standard coil or globule phases cannot describe the denatured state of structured proteins and intrinsically disordered proteins
The concepts of globule and random coil were developed to describe the phases of homopolymers and then used to characterize the denatured state of structured cytosolic proteins and intrinsically disordered proteins. Usin…
