DNA polymerase actively and sequentially displaces single-stranded DNA-binding proteins

Abstract Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) protect transiently exposed ssDNA, yet how DNA polymerase (DNAp) displaces them during replication remains unclear. Using single-molecule force spectroscopy, dual-color imaging, and molecular dynamics simulations on bacteriophage T7 DNAp and SSB,...
