  Asking how to visualise the disordered region of a protein is a bit like asking how to visualise the location of an electron.
  
  An *intrinsically disordered protein*, by definition, has regions that are disordered. In other words, their location is variable under observation, so they cannot be precisely placed in a 3D model.
