The diagram shows the proposed mechanism employed by type IA enzymes to relax DNA (10,14). The conformations of many of the different intermediates are based on structures, but some intermediates have not been observed and remain hypothetical. Many of the features of the proposed mechanism have been confirmed through biochemical, structural, and single molecule experiments.
