Abstract:
This is the 5th issue of the Digested Disorder series that represents a reader's digest of the scientific literature on intrinsically disordered proteins. We continue to use only 2 criteria for inclusion of a paper to this digest: The publication date (a paper should be published within the covered time frame) and the topic (a paper should be dedicated to any aspect of protein intrinsic disorder). The current digest issue covers papers published during the first quarter of 2014; i.e., during the period of January, February, and March of 2014. Similar to previous issues, the papers are grouped hierarchically by topics they cover, and for each of the included papers a short description is given on its major findings.
Insights
This digest summarizes research on intrinsically disordered proteins published in early 2014. It covers key findings across various topics in protein intrinsic disorder research.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Molecular Biology

Background:
- Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack stable tertiary structures.
- IDPs play crucial roles in various cellular processes.
- Understanding IDPs is vital for comprehending biological complexity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a curated summary of recent scientific literature on intrinsically disordered proteins.
- To highlight key advancements in the field of protein intrinsic disorder.
- To facilitate researchers' access to relevant findings from Q1 2014.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on papers published between January and March 2014.
- Inclusion criteria: publication date and relevance to protein intrinsic disorder.
- Hierarchical grouping of papers by topic for organized presentation.
Main Results:
- Compilation of significant research on intrinsically disordered proteins from Q1 2014.
- Categorization of findings based on thematic relevance.
- Concise descriptions of major findings for each included study.
Conclusions:
- The digest offers a snapshot of the research landscape for intrinsically disordered proteins in early 2014.
- It serves as a valuable resource for scientists in the field.

Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
