 List of all structural/functional types

The Protein Quartet model of protein function proposed by Uversky (Uversky V. "Natively unfolded proteins: a point where biology waits for physics." Protein Science, 2002, 11:739-56) specifies that function can arise from any of the four conformations (Ordered, Molten Globule, Pre-Molten Globule, Random Coil) or transitions between any two conformations. Accordingly the following list of structural/functional types was adopted:

Functional/structural type
     Function arises from the disordered state
     Function arises from the molten globule state
     Function arises from the ordered state
     Function arises from the pre-molten globule state
     Function arises via a disorder to molten globule transition
     Function arises via a disorder to order transition
     Function arises via a disorder to pre-molten globule transition
     Function arises via a molten globule to disorder transition
     Function arises via a molten globule to order transition
     Function arises via a molten globule to pre-molten globule transition
     Function arises via an order to disorder transition
     Function arises via an order to molten globule transition
     Function arises via an order to pre-molten globule transition
     Function arises via a pre-molten globule to disorder transition
     Function arises via a pre-molten globule to molten globule transition
     Function arises via a pre-molten globule to order transition
     Relationship to function unknown
