Science. 289:2000;77-85 The authors present the X-ray co-crystal structure of Tn5 Tnp with bound OE DNA. This is, to date, the most complete structure of any protein from the transposase/retroviral integrase superfamily of proteins and was the first protein-DNA co-crystal structure to be elucidated for this family. All aspects of the co-crystal structure are discussed.
