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.
