Various roles of glutamic acid in ordered and intrinsically disordered proteins 2013-04-01 .txt text/plain 19431 1043 50 5, 10, 46 In fact, in comparison with ordered proteins, IDPs/IDPRs are characterized by noticeable biases in their amino acid compositions, 5, 8, 10, [46] [47] [48] containing less of so-called "order-promoting" residues (cysteine, tryptophan, isoleucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine, histidine, valine, asparagines and methionine, which are mostly hydrophobic residues which are commonly found within the hydrophobic cores of foldable proteins) and more of "disorder-promoting" residues (lysine, glutamine, serine, glutamic acid and proline, which are mostly polar and charged residues, which are typically located at the surface of foldable proteins) (Fig. 1A) . Glutamic acid is an important functional residue of ordered proteins, where it can be involved in the formation of specific electrostatic valves inside the pores of ion channels, or can play unique catalytic roles in the active sites ./cache/cord-310847-63gh2tg4.txt ./txt/cord-310847-63gh2tg4.txt
