1537-GOOSE: for Functional Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
The research introduces GOOSE, a high-throughput computational framework specifically engineered for the rational design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDRs). While traditional protein engineering often focuses on rigid structures, this tool allows scientists to manipulate the flexible, unstructured regions of proteins by adjusting sequence properties, such as charge and hydrophobicity. Using GOOSE, researchers successfully mapped how specific amino acid patterns influence molecular dimensions and localization within living cells. The study further demonstrates the platform's…
