Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are characterized by substantial conformational plasticity. Given their inherent structural flexibility X-ray crystallography is not applicable to study these proteins. In contrast, NMR spectroscopy offers unique opportunities for structural and dynamic studies of IDPs. The past two decades have witnessed significant development of NMR spectroscopy that couples advances in spin physics and chemistry with a broad range of applications. This article will summarize key advances in basic physical-chemistry and NMR methodology, outline their limitations and envision future R&D directions. Graphical abstract

Proteins, which, in their native conditions, sample a multitude of distinct conformational states characterized by high spatiotemporal heterogeneity, most often termed as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), have become a target of broad interest over the past 15years. With the growing evidence of their important roles in fundamental cellular...

Abstract
When approaching physiological conditions, solvent exchange of amide protons in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is so pronounced that it becomes a key feature to be considered in NMR experiment...

There is growing interest in the development of physical methods to study the conformational behaviour and biological activity of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). In this review recent advances in the elucidation of quantitative descriptions of disordered proteins from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are presented. Ensemble approaches are particularly well adapted to map the...

Indeed, much of the community's understanding of protein function rests on our ability to deduce those structures by such methods as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The immense success and explanatory power of the ...
