Thus, in order to understand the mechanism of helicase catalyzed unwinding reactions, it is important to understand all the individual steps to it, namely: nucleic-acid binding, NTP binding and hydrolysis, single-stranded translocation, and then finally the strand-separation function. Two early genes of bacteriophage T5 encode proteins containing an NTP-binding sequence motif and probably involved in DNA replication, recombination and repair Bacteriophage T7 helicase/primase proteins form rings around single-stranded DNA that suggest a general structure for hexameric helicases A functional interaction of ICP8, the herpes simplex virus single-stranded DNA-binding protein, and the helicase-primase complex that is dependent on the presence of the UL8 subunit ./cache/cord-017297-q3qtgrfc.txt ./txt/cord-017297-q3qtgrfc.txt
