Researchers Discover What Happens to Helicase Enzyme Before it Encircles the DNA

Building on earlier work exploring the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins interact with and copy DNA prior to cell division, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have captured a key step—molecular images showing how the enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix gets drawn to and wrapped around its target.
