Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Molecular Biology
- Structural Biology
Background:
- The field of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is expanding rapidly.
- Keeping abreast of new research in IDPs is challenging for scientists.
- Previous issues of "Digested Disorder" have successfully summarized IDP literature.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a curated digest of recent publications on intrinsically disordered proteins.
- To update researchers on the latest findings in protein disorder.
- To cover papers published in the third quarter of 2013.
Main Methods:
- Literature search focused on intrinsically disordered proteins.
- Inclusion criteria: publication date (Q3 2013) and topic relevance.
- Papers categorized hierarchically by topic.
Main Results:
- A collection of research papers and reviews on intrinsically disordered proteins from June, July, and September 2013.
- Each paper includes a brief description of its major findings.
- The digest is organized thematically for easy navigation.
Conclusions:
- This digest serves as a valuable resource for researchers in the field of intrinsically disordered proteins.
- It facilitates efficient access to key findings from recent IDP research.

Quartile
9.9K
Quartiles are numbers that separate the data into quarters. Quartiles may or may not be part of the data. To find the quartiles, first, find the median or second quartile. The first quartile, Q1, is the middle value of the lower half of the data, and the third quartile, Q3, is the middle value, or median, of the upper half of the data. To get the idea, consider the same data set:
1; 1; 2; 2; 4; 6; 6.8; 7.2; 8; 8.3; 9; 10; 10; 11.5
The median or second quartile is seven. The lower half of the...

The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to various disorders. If the lower esophageal sphincter is damaged, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining. This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (known as heartburn) and may cause chest pain and difficulty swallowing. In the stomach, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, chronic alcohol consumption, bacterial infections such as Helicobacter...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
2.1K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
