Summary:
FAIDR-Desi is a non-technical user interface for design of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) based on greedy optimization of sequence features (simple sequence statistics correlated with IDR function, including amino acid composition, residue patterning and short linear interaction motifs), using more features (127) than other IDR design approaches. FAIDR-Desi can be used to design synthetic IDR mimics to establish feature sufficiency for function, or to knock out features to show necessity for function, exemplified with experiments on the yeast Cox15 mitochondrial targeting signal.
