A DNA helicase, powered by ATP hydrolysis, propels itself rapidly along one of the template DNA strands (here the lagging strand), forcing open the DNA helix ahead of the replication fork.
An exploration of the unanswered questions in how the molecular chaperone Hsp90 supports protein homeostasis, and how single-molecule techniques could drive future breakthroughs in answering them.
The motor domain contains the catalytic site for ATP hydrolysis and the actin or microtubule-binding site. The neck region acts as a lever arm, amplifying the small conformational changes generated by ...
