Molecular dynamics insights into biomineralisation mediated by acidic intrinsically disordered proteins: a case study of molluscan Aspein from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to show how Aspein, an acidic protein from pearl oysters, controls calcium carbonate polymorphism by sequestering Ca2+ and stabilizing calcite over aragonite.

The C-terminal intrinsically disordered region of a fungal LPMO binds copper and displays anti-fungal properties

This study identifies the C-terminal disordered region of an AA14 LPMO as a copper-binding domain with antifungal activity.

Transient Non-local Interactions Dominate the Dynamics of Measles Virus NTAIL

The paper identifies transient non-local interactions in measles virus NTAIL that dominate its dynamics and regulate conformational preferences and function.

Predicting substitutions to modulate disorder and stability in coiled-coils

This study develops a computational framework to quantify disorder in coiled-coils and design substitutions to modulate their stability and flexibility.
