Entropy-Weighted Collapse Likelihood

EWCL

Interpretable residue-level prediction of intrinsic disorder.

EWCL connects explicit sequence physicochemistry, AlphaFold confidence, and local structural geometry to produce inspectable residue-level disorder profiles.

Why disorder matters

Proteins do not always function through one stable structure.

Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions sample ensembles rather than settling into a single fold. Their sequence-encoded flexibility enables signaling, molecular recognition, regulation, and biomolecular condensation.

Ubiquitin is shown from the experimental PDB 1UBQ coordinates and colored with a 76-residue EWCL-Structure score vector. BRCA1 is a mixed-architecture protein—not a wholly disordered chain. Its canonical architecture map retains the structured RING and tandem BRCT domains while showing the experimentally characterized central disorder regions without implying a single validated conformation for the central IDR.

What EWCL measures

Sequence physics becomes residue-level evidence.

EWCL transforms explicit sequence-derived physicochemistry into a continuous prediction, then aligns that profile with AlphaFold confidence and local structural geometry. Every output remains connected to interpretable evidence.
