Tricking enzymes in living cells: a mechanism-based strategy for design of DNA topoisomerase biosensors

Abstract Most activity-based molecular probes are designed to target enzymes that catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds and the conversion of a unimolecular substrate into bimolecular products. However, DNA topoisomerases are a class of enzymes that alter DNA topology without producing any molecul...
