Which protein is responsible for unraveling the DNA double-helix into 2 strands to prepare it for copying?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is; DNA helicase

They unzip the double helix into single strands during replication. The unzipping occurs at regions called origins where replication is initiated. The protein breaks the hydrogen bonds (using energy from ATP) between the complimentary bases of the strands hence forming a replication fork.
