📢New paper alert!! With @boothbylab @alexholehouse @fried_lab we take a look at how an entire proteome survives desiccation. TLDR: Desiccation tolerance is encoded in specific residues on the protein surface, and occurs primarily in biosynthetic enzymes. shorturl.at/U5VS1

Disordered proteins are ubiquitous and play myriad important roles in biology. The structural form of these proteins can change when the solution environment changes. But does this translate into function? We answer this question in our new preprint: tinyurl.com/3bwm2twf
We use a combination of functional assays, biophysical characterization, and theoretical modeling to show that while synergy between protective IDPs and their endogenous solutes is widespread, the mechanisms driving this synergy differ between IDP families.
An amazing collaborative effort from @boothbylab @kcshraddha56 Kenny Nguyen @vnchlsn Annie Walgren, Tony Trent @EdithGollub @sofiarom189 @alexholehouse @shaharsu @NSFfunded @WALIIAnhydro
