Specifically, they target an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which is responsible for unwinding and separating the DNA strands during replication. In the normal process of DNA replication, DNA gyrase binds to the DNA double helix ahead of the replication fork and Show more…

1. DNA replication is critical to the growth of microbes. Describe the mechanism used by prokaryotes to replicate their DNA. 2. How does wobble affect the synthesis of bacterial proteins? 3. Gram negative bacteria possess a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer. How does this structural feature interact with the human immune system? 4. The human immune system is a highly sophisticated means of controlling bacterial infections. Describe 2 ways that bacteria can subvert this system.
