Best Answer

The enzyme DNA gyrase produces negative supercoils in DNA. The "negative" refers to the directionality of the supercoil, not the electrical charge of the molecule. Reverse gyrase produces positive supercoils, meaning the DNA supercoils in the opposite direction of the negative supercoil.
