Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations were coupled with experimental data from biochemistry and genetics to generate a theoretical structure for the binding domain of Hin recombinase complexed with the hix site of DNA. The theoretical model explains the observed sequence specificity of Hin recombinase and leads to a number of testable predictions concerning altered sequence selectivity for various mutants of protein and DNA.
