Abstract

DNA is very stable in the double-stranded (ds) form, but to perform its most important cellular functions, including replication, repair, recombination and, in some cases, transcription, it has to be partially unwound for a short time to create a single-stranded (ss) template. Duplex DNA unwinding is catalyzed by a group of enzymes called DNA helicases, which act in an ATP-dependent fashion to produce the ssDNA template.
