Assembly and breakage of head-to-head double hexamer reveals mpox virus E5-catalyzed DNA unwinding initiation

Abstract The replicative helicase-catalyzed unwinding of the DNA double helix is the initiation of DNA replication. Helicases and primases are functionally related enzymes that have even been expressed as fusion proteins in some organisms and viruses. However, the mechanism underlying DNA unwinding...
