Topoisomer

Topoisomers or topological isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula and stereochemical bond connectivities but different topologies.

Examples of molecules for which there exist topoisomers include DNA, which can form knots, and catenanes.

Each topoisomer of a given DNA molecule possesses a different linking number associated with it.

DNA topoisomers can be interchanged by enzymes called topoisomerases.
