Many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) that fold upon binding retain conformational heterogeneity in IDP-target complexes. The thermodynamics of such fuzzy interactions is poorly understood. Here we introduce a thermodynamic framework, based on analysis of ITC and CD spectroscopy data, that provides experimental description of IDP association in terms of folding and binding contributions which can be predicted using sequence folding propensities and molecular modeling. We show how IDP can modulate the entropy and enthalpy by adapting their bound-state structural ensemble to achieve optimal binding. This is explained in terms of a free energy landscape that provides the relationship between free energy, sequence folding propensity and disorder. The observed "fuzzy" behavior is possible not only because of IDP flexibility but also because backbone and side chain interactions are, to some extent, energetically decoupled allowing IDP to minimize energetically unfavorable folding.

Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are multi-conformational polypeptides that lack a single stable three-dimensional structure. It has become increasingly clear that the versatile IDPs play key roles in a multitude of biological processes, and, given their flexible nature, NMR is a leading method to investigate IDP behavior on the molecular level. Here we present an IDP-tailored J-modulated experiment designed to...

Deuterium isotope shifts for backbone 1H, 15N and 13C nuclei in intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein
Deuterium isotope shifts for backbone 1H, 15N and 13C nuclei in intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein
Abstract Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are abundant in nature and characterization of their potential structural propensities remains a widely pursued but challenging task. Analysis of NMR secondary chemical shifts plays an important role in such studies, but the output of such analyses depends on the accuracy of reference random coil chemical shifts. Although uniform perdeuteration of IDPs can dramatically increase spectral resolution, a feature particularly...
