Type I topoisomerase bound to DNA. Molecular model showing a type I topoisomerase molecule (green) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid,pink and blue). The topoisomerase enzymes assist in uncoiling DNA. DNA is usually stored in a supercoiled form,which must be unravelled before it can be replicated or translated into proteins. Type I topoisomerase changes the linkage in multiples of one,while Type II changes the linkages in steps of two | |
