Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins leverage their structural flexibility to play important roles in numerous cellular processes including molecular recognition. Many IDRs interact with DNA, and characterizing these interactions is crucial for understanding their biological impact. Here, we present a protocol for the in vitro detection of IDR-DNA interactions using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. We describe a radioactive-free procedure using long DNA substrates and define steps for data analysis. Altogether, this protocol facilitates reproducible and sensitive quantification of IDR-DNA interactions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Pastic et al. 1

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
