The homology model (<scene name='User:Eric_Martz/Sandbox_4/Dnac_model_from_2ggz_a/8'>restore initial scene</scene>) represents 75% of the full length ''E. coli'' DnaC sequence, omitting 54 N-terminal residues, and 8 C-terminal residues. Several surface loops in the model (shown translucent white) have high uncertainty, since these are missing in the template ([[#Homology Model Construction|see below]]). Note that the homology model is somewhat unreliable about which residues are actually on the surface vs. largely buried, and hence the conclusions below are tentative.

Note that the N-terminal 76 residues are predicted to be intrinsically unfolded (see [[#Intrinsically Unstructured N-Terminus|above]]).
