Abstract excerpt
Mcm proteins are an important family of evolutionarily conserved helicases required for DNA replication in eukaryotes. The eukaryotic Mcm complex consists of six paralogs that form a heterohexameric ring. Because the intact Mcm2-7 hexamer is inactive in vitro, it has been difficult to determine t...
