Representations of the structure and conformations of the cohesin ring (not drawn to scale). aSmc proteins contain a nucleotide binding domain (NBD) at their N- and C- terminal ends and a central “hinge” domain. The protein folds back on itself to form 50 nm long rod-shaped antiparallel coiled coils bringing the N- and C-terminal NBDs together to form an ATP-binding cassette. Interactions between the Smc hinge domains close the ring on one interface, while asymmetric interactions between Scc1 and the Smcs close the other two interfaces. Evidence exists to support both a fully

More generally, the contact probability is defined as the probability for the two segments to approach within some small distance δ of each other, δ≪√ Na
