MEDOC: A Fast, Scalable, and Mathematically Exact Algorithm for the Site-Specific Prediction of the Protonation Degree in Large Disordered Proteins Intrinsically disordered regions are found in most eukaryotic proteins and are enriched with positively and negatively charged residues. While it is often convenient to assume that these residues foll...
