DNA Helicases

Synonyms

ATP Dependent DNA Helicases

ATP-Dependent DNA Helicases

DNA Helicase A

DNA Helicase E

DNA Helicase II

DNA Helicase III

DNA Helicases, ATP-Dependent

DNA Unwinding Proteins

Helicases, ATP-Dependent DNA

Helicases, DNA

Unwinding Proteins, DNA

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.
