Supercoiling of DNA
A) is not observed in prokaryotes
B) requires the action of topoisomerase enzymes
C) does not require ATP
D) is not observed in eukaryotes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Supercoiling of DNA involves the twisting of the DNA molecule beyond its relaxed state, which requires the action of topoisomerase enzymes to manage the torsional stress and ensure proper DNA replication and transcription. These enzymes can introduce or remove supercoils, thus playing a crucial role in DNA metabolism.
