DNA base flipping is a molecular process in which a base (one of the constituent nucleobases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine) in the DNA double helix is temporarily displaced from its complementary strand and rotated out of the helix, exposing it to the solvent. This mechanism can play a critical role in various biological processes, including DNA repair, recognition of specific sequences by proteins, and regulation of gene expression.
