Abstract excerpt
DNA entanglements and supercoiling arise frequently during normal DNA metabolism. DNA topoisomerases are highly conserved enzymes that resolve the topological problems that these structures create. Topoisomerase II (TOPII) releases topological stress in DNA by removing DNA supercoils through breaking the two DNA strands, passing a DNA duplex through the break and religating the broken strands. TOPII performs key...
