Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins includes ATP-dependent helicases which are enzymes that utilize the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded nucleic acids. Helicases are essential for many cellular processes, including DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription, as well as RNA processing and degradation. They play a critical role in maintaining genome stability and integrity. Members of this family are characterized by their ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP, and to exert force on nucleic acid substrates, thereby separating the strands to facilitate the processing of the nucleic acids by other enzymes.
