Abstract

TRPC(3,6) are two ~ 930 amino acid membrane proteins that form calcium permeant cation channels. Here we examine the differences between mammals and oviparous species. Our method is based on the concept of evolution towards criticality, a general concept we have previously applied to many proteins, especially in describing the evolution of pandemic sequences through natural selection.
