Conformational properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are governed by a sequence-ensemble relationship. To differentiate the impact of sequence-local versus sequence-nonlocal features of an IDP's charge pattern on its conformational dimensions and its phase-separation propensity, the charge "blockiness" κ and the nonlocality-weighted sequence charge decoration (SCD) parameters are compared for their correlations with isolated-chain radii of gyration (Rgs) and upper critical solution temperatures (UCSTs) of polyampholytes modeled by random phase approximation, field-theoretic simulation, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics. SCD is superior to κ in predicting Rg because SCD accounts for effects of contact order, i.e., nonlocality, on dimensions of isolated chains. In contrast, κ and SCD are comparably good, though nonideal, predictors of UCST because frequencies of interchain contacts in the multiple-chain condensed phase are less sensitive to sequence positions than frequencies of intrachain contacts of an isolated chain, as reflected by κ correlating better with condensed-phase interaction energy than SCD.
