Evolution and Function of SMC Proteins

Biomolecules 2022-11-01 v1

Abstract

Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes, SMCs, proteins have long rod like structures immersed in water. Here we use our hydroanalytic methods based on amino acid sequences to discuss their dynamics at multiple length scales identified by evolution. The length scales are 10 to 100 times longer than used in normal studies of sequence evolution. Their hydropathic profiles exhibit many features unique to their structure and function.
