The mechanisms of DNA topoisomerases
Trends Biochem Sci.
1995 Apr.
Abstract
Recent structural and mechanistic studies, as well as the discovery of new enzymes in the DNA topoisomerase family, allow these enzymes to be classified into three groups. Each group reflects the evolution of three different mechanistic strategies to manipulate DNA topology.
