Abstract excerpt

In order to better understand the interaction between the inverted repeats (IRs) of the transposon Tn3 and Tn3 transposase, we have looked at the effects of mutations within the IRs on binding of transposase and transposition immunity. Binding of transposase to mutated IRs was measured using a si...
