Molecular Dynamics Reveal Base Flipping as a Key Mechanism in Tc3a Transposase DNA Recognition

Stephan L. Watkins, Helder Imoto Nakaya

This paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that base flipping in Tc3a transposase reshapes DNA structure during recognition, challenging existing models of transposon activity.
