What enzyme unravels the DNA helix?
DNA Helicase. - an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.
What is an example of a biological enzyme?
DNA helicase. This is the enzyme that "unzips" DNA.
During transcription what molecule opens the DNA?
Helicase is what will "unzip" the DNA.
What is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix?
To 'unwind' the double helix for protein synthesis, enzymes called DNA Helicases cause the two parent DNA strands to unwind and separate from one another in both directions. And im only 15
What is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA from around the histone proteins?
Helicase

What enzyme is responsible for unzipping the helix?
DNA Helicase. - an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.
What molecule unwinds DNA?
A replication bubble.
What enzyme unzips DNA and RNA?
the one that breaks it is called Helicase and the one that adds it is called Polymerase.

What enzyme breaks apart the DNA?
Helicase

Helicase is what will "unzip" the DNA.
WHAT Breaks the hydrogen bonds in DNA?
i dont know but there is a website its wikipiedia
What molecule is first active during DNA replication?
helicase enzymes
What Unwinds the DNA strand and breaks the hydrogen bonds between nucleotides in preparation for replication?
The initiation complex makes a small gap for a helicase enzyme to bind. It is the helicase the 'undwinds' the DNA for most of replication. In E. coli, for example, DnaA protein binds DNA to make a small gap between the two DNA strands, where DnaB enzyme (a helicase) can bind to the lagging strand (the one that is copied in fragments). From there, DnaB unwinds the DNA ahead of the polymerase enzyme.
What binds to the DNA strand and separates it?
helicase enzyme
What enzyme breaks open DNA?
DNA helicase
