Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA gyrase in E. coli indeed hydrolyzes ATP during its reaction mechanism, cuts both strands of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), works to induce negative supercoiling in DNA, and is classified as a type II topoisomerase. Therefore, all the statements are true characteristics of DNA gyrase.
