Scientists by the name of James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA to be in the form of a double helix.
DNA helicase
DNA Helicase. - an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a double helix structure, in which two strands of nucleotides are wound around each other. This helical structure is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.
Enzymes called helicases are responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix of DNA during processes such as replication and transcription. Helicases use energy derived from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs, allowing the DNA strands to separate.

Francis Crick
double helix
The enzyme responsible for unzipping the DNA double helix during replication is called helicase. Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs, allowing the DNA strands to separate and be copied.
