- Definition
- A protein that lacks a well defined tertiary structure. These proteins are flexible, non-compact (extended) and have little or no ordered secondary structure under physiological conditions. They are involved in several cellular processes (E.g. signalling, targeting and DNA binding) and may play important roles in the development of cancer and amyloidotic diseases.
