Making sense of intrinsically disordered proteins

HJ Dyson - Biophysical journal, 2016 - cell.com
Proteins form the molecular scaffolding of life and are essential to catalyzing the chemical
reactions that sustain living systems. These characteristics have led us to think that proteins …

Hypersensitive termination of the hypoxic response by a disordered protein switch

RB Berlow, HJ Dyson, PE Wright - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The cellular response to hypoxia is critical for cell survival and is fine-tuned to allow cells to
recover from hypoxic stress and adapt to heterogeneous or fluctuating oxygen levels,. The …
