Inhibition of Zn(II) Binding Type IA Topoisomerases by Organomercury Compounds and Hg(II)

Type IA topoisomerase activities are essential for resolving DNA topological barriers via an enzyme-mediated transient single strand DNA break. Accumulation of topoisomerase DNA cleavage product can lead to cell death or genomic rearrangement. Many antibacterial and anticancer drugs act as topoisome...
