the functionality of drugs or toxins targeting topoisomerase II, a protein associated with cell division that can untangle DNA by passing strands through each other. Since kinetoplasts are normally too large to move through agar gel, the appearance of bands associated with minicircles during a gel electrophoresis assay indicate that topoisomerase II has decatenated the kinetoplasts. This assay can be used to determine whether
