Three dimensional structure of the Tn5 synaptic complex transposition intermediate.

The authors provided a molecular framework for understanding transposition phenomena at the molecular level, including molecular images at 2.3Å resolution of the Tn5 transposase complexed to its respective Tn5 transposon end DNA, its cleavage and subsequent transposition by a transposase.
