Type II topoisomerase — Type II topoisomerases cut both strands of the DNA helix simultaneously in order to change the linking number of the molecule. FunctionOnce cut, the ends of the DNA are separated, and a second DNA duplex is passed through the break. Following… … Wikipedia
Type I topoisomerase — Type I topoisomerases are divided into two structurally and mechanistically distinct topoisomerases: type IA and type IB. * Type IA topoisomerases change the linking number of a circular DNA strand by units of strictly 1. * Type IB topoisomerases … Wikipedia

Topoisomerase IV — is one of two type II topoisomerases in bacteria, the other being DNA gyrase. Like gyrase, topoisomerase IV is able to pass one double strand of DNA through another double strand of DNA, thereby changing the linking number of DNA by two in each… … Wikipedia
Topoisomerase — Topoisomerases (type I: EC 5.99.1.2, type II: EC 5.99.1.3) are enzymes that regulate the overwinding or underwinding of DNA. The winding problem of DNA arises due to the intertwined nature of its double helical structure. For example, during DNA… … Wikipedia
