β¦ Synopsis
We have performed a detailed analysis of intra- and intermolecular endproducts of transposition of the compound transposon Tn903 and we show that, in our system, the transposition activity is almost entirely driven by one of the flanking insertion sequences, IS903L. The relatively inactive state of IS903R can be conferred on IS903L by changing the orientation of the internal Tn region. IS903L mediates the formation of the majority of adjacent deletions, insertion/inversions and cointegrates, all of which are representative of replicative transposition; only a very low level of conservative transposition can be observed. Our results are discussed in relation to those showing that Tn903 uses predominantly the conservative pathway.

Intermolecular transposition of Tn2660 into pCR1 was measured at 30 degrees C in recA- and recA+ hosts as between 2.6 and 5.5 X 10(-3), a similar value to that previously found for Tn3. No cointegrate structures were found under conditions where 10(4) transposition events occurred. Immunity to inter
## Abstract We have investigated the performance of a variety of density functional methods for weak intraβ and intermolecular dispersion interactions. Grimme's empirical dispersion correction method is shown to give a good description for these interactions and helps to improve the description of
A cleavage map of Tn5, a kanamycin (Km) transposon from plasmid JR67, was constructed from pMKI, a composite plasmid of ColE1 and Tn5, and compared to that of Tn903, a Km transposon from plasmid R6-5. The two transposons showed marked heterogeneity in both the structural gene for Km resistance and t
