Abstract
Structural disorders of proteins make drug design a difficult task. The gel-like state of intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) or intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) remains a big puzzle for drug designers. Here, we propose a novel concept for drug design by understanding protein disintegration and protein-protein interaction (PPI) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and propose a possible approach for overcoming current obstacles in IDP drug design.Entities:
