MECHANISM AND ACTIVITY OF DNA TOPOISOMERASES

    Type-1A Topoisomerases

Type 1A topo

Type-1A topoisomerases interact and cleave single-stranded DNA regions.......,

E.coli topo I / E.coli topo III / Sc topo III / Human topo IIIa / human topo IIIb

 

 

 

reactions 1A

    Type-1B Topoisomerases

Type 1B mech

Type-1B topoisomerases interact with duplex DNA and break one of the strands allowing one severed DNA end to pivot about the uncleaved strand.
