About Topoisomerases
You may wonder about the structure of DNA such as is it tangled or does it become stressed? Well the answer is yes but there a protein that relaxes and untangles DNA,it is called Topoisomerases.Topoisomerases is a protein that untangles and relax DNA.
Function
Topoisomerases wraps itself around DNA and makes a cut in one strand. While holding that damaged area, the enzyme allows the helix to spin, relaxing any tangled or untangled. After DNA relaxed,topoisomerase reconnects the broken strand, then returning DNA double helix back.
