Abstract excerpt
One key feature of the interaction of Flp recombinase with its target site (FRT) is the large bend introduced in the substrate as a result of protein binding. The extent of bending was found to depend on the phasing and spacing of the Flp monomers occupying the two Flp-binding elements (FBE) bordering the strand-exchange region (spacer) of the substrate. The relative mobilities of the Flp complexes formed by the...
