Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA gyrase in E. coli works by introducing negative supercoiling into DNA to overcome torsion stress. It also hydrolyzes ATP during its reaction mechanism and removes positive supercoiling introduced by the DnaB protein. However, it does not break a single phosphoester bond in one strand of dsDNA. Instead, it breaks both strands of DNA and passes another segment of DNA through the break before resealing the break.
