DNA helicase "unzip," or separate, a strand of DNA at positions called origins. This means that the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs are removed (DNA is double stranded!). When they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands, it allows each strand to be copied (replication).
DNA helicases use the energy stored in a molecule called ATP to break the bonds, which serves as the energy currency of cells.

What is the role in helicase enzyme in dnA replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
What opens up the double helix during replication?
DNA Helicase
What 2 proteins are used during DNA replication?
The two proteins used during DNA replication are DNA polymerase and DNA helicase. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand, while DNA helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA to expose the template strands for replication.
Is DNA helicase an enzyme?
Yes, it unwinds the DNA double helix prior to transcription/protein synthesis and DNA replication.
DNA replication that unzip the DNA strand is?
What unzips DNA strand is a particular protein called Helicase. Helicase unwinds DNA's double helix at the replication fork.
What separates the DNA strands during replication?
That would be called the Replication Fork
What job do the enzymes helicase play?
Helicase unwinds the DNA during replication.
What enhances separation of DNA strands during replication?
helicase
Does helicase separates the DNA strands during replication?
yes
What is the role in helicase enzyme in dnA replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
What molecule is first active during DNA replication?
helicase enzymes
What opens up the double helix during replication?
DNA Helicase
What 2 proteins are used during DNA replication?
The two proteins used during DNA replication are DNA polymerase and DNA helicase. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand, while DNA helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA to expose the template strands for replication.
Is DNA helicase an enzyme?
Yes, it unwinds the DNA double helix prior to transcription/protein synthesis and DNA replication.
Which is the first step to occur during the process of replication?
Separation of the two DNA strands by the action of the Helicase enzyme.
During replication what enzyme is used to split the DNA molecule in half?
helicase
Which protein prevents the reannealing of DNA during replication?
I think it's helicase
