Browse to parent terms:DNA Topoisomerases
Poly-ADP-Ribose Binding Proteins
Description
DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.Search for this term in our Faculty Database
