Binding of natural ligands such as a variety of small molecules, substrates, cofactors, other proteins, nucleic acids or membranes may induce unstructured proteins to adopt stable structures bound to the partner, or even a secondary structure bound to the partner. In addition to the cases detailed below, other examples include [[1g3j]], [[1oct]]<ref name="tompa2002" />, and the  [[Lac repressor]].

Some IUP sequences are able to bind to multiple partners that have <25% sequence identity, and in some cases even different folds<ref name="one-to-many">PMID: 23233352</ref>.
Some IUP sequences are able to bind to multiple partners that have <25% sequence identity, and in some cases even different folds<ref name="one-to-many">PMID: 23233352</ref>. For example, the C-terminal portion of p53 is known to bind to four different protein partners each with different folds<ref name="one-to-many" />; and the N-terminus of histone H3 binds to nine different protein partners with distinct folds<ref name="one-to-many" />.
