disordered as in not having order, rather than abnormal.
- marojejian 1y agoYes, "not having order" was the definition I was using. And that definition implies "high entropy" where the many micro-states each are equivalent in function. But it sounds like the evidence suggests the opposite: the many conformations we see these proteins taking in different contexts serve a function. The proteins are more like machines with moving parts, vs. static legos.
