Kurkcuoglu Ozge, Bates Paul A
Abstract excerpt
The structure-function relationship of cohesin, an essential chromosome maintenance protein, is investigated by analyzing its collective dynamics and conformational flexibility, enhancing our understanding of the sister chromatid cohesion process. A three-dimensional model of cohesin has been constructed by homology modeling using both crystallographic and electron microscopy image data. The harmonic dynamics of...
