Preferred Label : DNA helicases;
MeSH 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.; Proteins that catalyze the unwinding of duplex DNA during replication by binding cooperatively
