Helicase snaps back
Article Abstract:
The removal of proteins from nucleic acid is a core function of enzymes of the helicase families, as it would be illuminating to test whether other family members also shuttle back and forth like Rep. This would also be useful to discover whether the snap-back mechanism allows Rep or other enzymes to switch from one nucleic-acid strand to another, which could simplify the coordination of complex structural changes during DNA or RNA transactions.
