	The active site of Topo 1 is catalytic and it is the location where the nicking or cutting occurs<ref name="Redinbo" />. The nicking occurs from the trans-esterification of Tyr-723 at a DNA phophodiester bond forming a 3'-phosphotyrosine covalent enzyme–DNA complex <ref name="Staker" />. After the DNA is relaxed, the covalent intermediate is reversed when the released 5'-OH of the broken strand reattacks the phosphotyrosine intermediate in a second transesterification reaction<ref name="Staker" />.'''
