Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitous proteins that are disordered entirely or partly and play important roles in diverse biological phenomena. Their structure dynamically samples a multitude of conformational states, thus rendering their structural analysis very difficult. Here we explore the potential of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) for characterizing the structure and dynamics of IDPs. Successive HS-AFM images of an IDP molecule can not only identify constantly folded and constantly disordered regions in the molecule, but can also document disorder-to-order transitions. Moreover, the number of amino acids contained in these disordered regions can be roughly estimated, enabling a semiquantitative, realistic description of the dynamic structure of IDPs.
