Supplementary Figure 6

a, An SMC dimer with C2 symmetry. Monomers and their body-frame coordinate systems are shown in black or blue. The symmetry axis of the dimer is shown in purple. b, Symmetry breaking upon elbow bending. Option 1: monomers bend into opposite directions; Option 2: monomers twist and bend into the same direction. Orientations of the relevant body-frame coordinate axes are shown at the bottom.
