Evolutionary volatile Cysteines and protein disorder in the fast evolving tunicate Oikopleura dioica.

O. dioica proteins are shorter and proportionally less disordered than in other chordates. Correlation between presence of cysteines (thought to be stabilising) and disorder is lower in O. dioica. Cysteines in ordered domains are also less conserved in O dioica compared to other chordates.
