- Term ID
- GO:0003918
- Synonyms
-
- deoxyribonucleate topoisomerase
- deoxyribonucleic topoisomerase activity
- DNA gyrase activity
- Definition
- Catalysis of a DNA topological transformation by transiently cleaving a pair of complementary DNA strands to form a gate through which a second double-stranded DNA segment is passed, after which the severed strands in the first DNA segment are rejoined, driven by ATP hydrolysis. The enzyme changes the linking number in multiples of 2. 8811192
