Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a well-defined three-dimensional structure under physiological conditions. Intrinsic disorder is a common phenomenon, particularly in multicellular eukaryotes, and is responsible for important protein functions including regulation and signaling. Many disease-related proteins are likely to be intrinsically disordered or to have disordered regions. In this paper, a new predictor model based on the Bayesian classification methodology is introduced to predict for a given protein or protein region if it is intrinsically disordered or ordered using only its primary sequence. The method allows to incorporate length-dependent amino acid compositional differences of disordered regions by including separate statistical representations for short, middle and long disordered regions. The predictor was trained on the constructed data set of protein regions with known structural properties. In a Jack-knife test, the predictor achieved the sensitivity of 89.2% for disordered and 81.4% for ordered regions. Our method outperformed several reported predictors when evaluated on the previously published data set of Prilusky et al. [2005. Foldlndex: a simple tool to predict whether a given protein sequence is intrinsically unfolded. Bioinformatics 21 (16), 3435-3438]. Further strength of our approach is the ease of implementation.
