This study assembled a set of 91 natively unfolded proteins (i.e., IDPs with extended disorder, such as native coils and native pre-molten globules), which at physiological conditions have been reported to have the NMR chemical shifts of a random-coil, and/or lack significant ordered secondary structure (as determined by CD or FTIR), and/or show hydrodynamic dimensions close to those typical of an unfolded polypeptide chain (Uversky et al., 2000a)

L-carnitine has also been shown to play a role in regulating calcium influx, making sure it stays out of your arteries and in your bones
