Question
Chapter 29, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The advantageous effect of the enzyme, topoisomerase over the organism, sulfolobus acidocaldarius are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a biological macromolecule. DNA contains double helical strands along with the complementary base pairs. The four complementary bases of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). In the formation of recombinant DNA, the restriction enzymes are involved to cut the particular region in the DNA molecule.

True or False. Topoisomerase I does not require ATP to break and rejoin DNA strands because the energy of the phospho-diester bond is stored transiently in a phospho-tyrosine linkage in the enzyme’s active site. Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.
Broken operators. Consider a hypothetical mutation in OR2OR 2 that
blocks both A repressor and Cro binding. How would this mutation
affect the likelihood of bacteriophage entering the lytic phase?
