Outline of research activities
Type II DNA topoisomerase (topo II) is an essential enzyme for resolution of topological problems arising in DNA metabolic processes such as transcription and replication. We study a role of the C-terminal domain of topo II in its nuclear dynamics and enzymatic activities.
