Switch-like control of helicase processivity by single-stranded DNA binding protein

Helicases utilize nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis to translocate along single-stranded nucleic acids (NA) and unwind the duplex. In the cell, helicases function in the context of other NA-associated proteins such as single-stranded DNA binding proteins. Such encounters regulate helicase fun...
