Before DNA can be replicated, it must undergo a process called unwinding, where the double helix structure is separated into two single strands. This unwinding is facilitated by enzymes such as helicase. Additionally, the strands must be stabilized to prevent them from re-annealing or forming secondary structures, allowing DNA polymerase to synthesize new complementary strands based on the original template strands.
