 Context examples 

Researchers previously believed that proteins needed a fixed shape to function, but over the last two decades there has been a growing interest in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).

Unlike their well-folded counterparts, IDPs can adopt a plethora of distinct structures.

(Biomaterial Artificial Protein Helps Heal Tissue, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

IDPs are instrumental to cellular function, and many biomedical engineers have concentrated their efforts on an extremely useful IDP called elastin.

(Biomaterial Artificial Protein Helps Heal Tissue, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Researchers have hypothesized that versatility in protein function is achievable by stringing together well-folded proteins with IDPs—rather like pearl necklaces.

However, these structural preferences are non-random, and recent advances have shown that there are well-defined rules that connect information in the amino acid sequences of IDPs to the collections of structures they can adopt.
