Abstract excerpt
Helicases are ubiquitous enzymes that are vital to all living organisms. They are motor proteins that move in a specific direction along the nucleic acid and unwind the nucleic acid (DNA and RNA). ATP hydrolysis provides energy for helicase translocation and unwinding. The unwinding process provides ssDNA intermediates necessary for replication, recombination, and repair. Mutations in specific DNA helicases can...
