Abstract excerpt
The bacteriophage T4 provides a unique and informative system in which to study the mechanism of action of antitumor agents that inhibit type II DNA topoisomerases. The evolutionary conservation of inhibitor sensitivity provides a strong argument for a conserved inhibitor binding site at or very near the active site of the enzyme-DNA complex. Studies of the wild-type and drug-resistant T4 topoisomerases have...
