DNA Gyrase works by introducing conformational changes to itself as well as the protein complex. The Gyrase enzyme begins by interacting with the DNA. This causes the formation of the three gates that can be opened and closed. The G-segment, introduced under the “structure” section, forms a bond and binds to the first of the 3 gates, the central DNA gate. This binding of the gate produces chiral wrapping which in then produces a T-segment with in the last of the 3 gates, the N gate. After which, the N-gate binds with ATP which then causes the gate to close. Once this process is completed, the G-segment is released from the last of the 3 gates, the C-gate. This process causes a net result of 2 negative supercoils and a linkage difference of 2 from the initial linkage.
