Svensk definition
Enzymer som underlättar upptvinning av duplex-DNA under replikationsfasen genom att binda till enkelsträngade DNA-områden eller till korta sträckor av duplex-DNA som tillfälligt är öppna. EC 5.99.-.
DNA Helicases
DNA-helikaser
Engelsk definition
Proteins that catalyze the unwinding of duplex DNA during replication by binding cooperatively to single-stranded regions of DNA or to short regions of duplex DNA that are undergoing transient opening. In addition, DNA helicases are DNA-dependent ATPases that harness the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate DNA strands.
