Structural insight into negative DNA supercoiling by DNA gyrase, a bacterial type 2A DNA topoisomerase

Type 2A DNA topoisomerases (Topo2A) remodel DNA topology during replication, transcription and chromosome segregation. These multisubunit enzymes catalyze the transport of a double-stranded DNA through a transient break formed in another duplex. The bacterial DNA gyrase, a target for broad-spectrum...
