Topoisomerase Interaction
Topoisomerase Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity with enzymes that change the degree of supercoiling in DNA by cutting one or both strands. Type I topoisomerases cut only one strand of DNA, while type II topoisomerases cut both strands of DNA. (NCI Thesaurus)
