Name: | DNA Topoisomerases, Type I |
---|---|
Description: | DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix. |
Synonyms: |
DNA Untwisting Enzyme; DNA topoisomerase; DNA Topoisomerase; DNA Untwisting Enzymes; Topoisomerase I; Type I DNA Topoisomerase; DNA Untwisting Protein; DNA Topoisomerase I; DNA Untwisting Proteins; DNA Relaxing Protein.
