Proteins can exist in at least three forms: the ordered form (solid-like), the partially folded form (collapsed, molten globule-like or liquid-like) and the extended form (extended, random coil-like or gas-like). The protein trinity hypothesis has two components: (i) a given native protein can be in any one of the three forms, depending on the sequence and the environment; and (ii) function can arise from any one of the three forms or from transitions between them. In this study, bioinformatics and data mining were used to investigate intrinsic disorder in proteins and develop neural network-based predictors of natural disordered regions (PONDR) that can discriminate between ordered and disordered residues with up to 84% accuracy. Predictions of intrinsic disorder indicate that the three kingdoms follow the disorder ranking eubacteria < archaebacteria
