Type II DNA topoisomerases are enzymes capable of passing one DNA duplex through another. A combination of structural and biochemical analyses is illuminating the mechanistic details of this transport reaction, revealing the sites of DNA and nucleotide binding and the existence of large-scale domain motions.
II型DNA拓扑异构酶是能够使一条DNA双链穿过另一条的酶。结构分析与生化分析相结合,正在阐明这种转运反应的机制细节,揭示DNA和核苷酸结合位点以及大规模结构域运动的存在。
