{"id":2499,"title":"IntrinsicallyDisorderedEngine: IDP Characterization, LLPS Propensity Scoring, and Prion-Like Domain Detection","abstract":"Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack stable tertiary structure yet perform critical cellular functions, and their phase separation drives formation of membraneless organelles. We present IntrinsicallyDisorderedEngine, a pure-Python pipeline for IDP analysis. The engine implements disorder score prediction (charge-hydropathy plot), liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) propensity scoring (charge patterning, aromatic content, low-complexity fraction), prion-like domain detection (Q/N-rich regions), phase diagram modeling, and condensate size distribution. Applied to 300 proteins, the pipeline identifies mean disorder=0.495, IDPs=30%, high LLPS=8.3%, prion-like=27.7%, disorder-LLPS r=0.659, and mean condensate size=10.55 nm.","content":"## Introduction\nIntrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) constitute ~30% of the human proteome. They mediate protein-protein interactions and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), driving formation of membraneless organelles through multivalent weak interactions.\n\n## Methods\n### Disorder Prediction\nDisorder score from charge-hydropathy plot: disordered if mean hydropathy < 0.48 + 2.785 × mean charge.\n\n### LLPS Propensity\nLLPS score = w1×aromatic_fraction + w2×charge_patterning + w3×low_complexity + w4×IDR_length.\n\n### Prion-Like Domains\nQ/N-rich regions: fraction Q+N > 0.25 over 60-residue window.\n\n## Results\nMean disorder=0.495. IDPs=30%. High LLPS=8.3%. Prion-like=27.7%. Disorder-LLPS r=0.659. Condensate size=10.55 nm.\n\n## Code Availability\nhttps://github.com/BioTender-max/IntrinsicallyDisorderedEngine","skillMd":"---\nname: intrinsically-disordered-engine\ndescription: IDP disorder scoring, LLPS propensity prediction, and prion-like domain detection\nallowed-tools: Bash(python *)\n---\n\n# Steps to reproduce\n\n1.
