Gaceta Médica, a newspaper devoted to science and health news, has published an article on the Barcelona BioMed conference dedicated to Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs). These proteins were discovered only a decade ago thanks to the sequencing of the genome "basically because of technical reasons, because crystallography does not allow observation of this kind of protein, when a protein had a disordered part this was cut and the rest was studied. This made IDPs invisible”, says Pons.
