Item The Role of Instrinsically Disordered Proteins in the Evolution of Multicellularity(Honors Program, The University of Tampa, 2021-05) Kulhanek, Jonathon; Dr. Padmanabhan MahadevanIDP's are called intrinsically disordered proteins which represent a category of proteins in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotic cells. IDP's have a lack of a specific three dimensional structure that is why these proteins are considered disordered. This structural disorder is located in one or more separate areas along the protein chain or polypeptide. In this research project, the goal is to show unicellular cells have less IDP's than multicellular cells. Eleven organisms were used. Five were unicellular and six were multicellular These organisms protein taste was extracted from ensemble and given to ESPRITZ and SLIDER to determine which organisms had a higher IDP count.
