Indian Scientists Develop ‘Disobind’ to Predict Binding of Disordered Proteins

Exam-Focused Points

• Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a stable 3D structure.

• Protein language models are AI systems trained on large protein sequence datasets.

• NCBS is a premier life sciences institute under TIFR .

• AlphaFold tools are used for protein structure and interaction prediction.

• Disobind is released as open-source software .
