| Abstract |
DNA gyrase is the only topoisomerase that can catalytically introduce negative supercoils into covalently closed DNA. The enzyme plays a critical role in many phases of DNA biochemistry. There are only a few methods that allow one to measure supercoiling in chromosomal DNA and analyze the role of gyrase in transcription and its interaction with the other three bacterial topoisomerases. Here, we provide molecular tools for measuring supercoil density in the chromosome and for connecting the dots between transcription and DNA topology. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 August 2017.
All research outputs
#14,952,935
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#4,723
of 13,151 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,424
of 316,465 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#30
of 108 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,151 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,465 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 108 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
