5.6.2.3 additional information the helicase unwinds DNA 5' to 3'and has a preference for purine triphosphates as cofactors for the unwinding reaction (GTP/dGTP are better substrates than ATP/dATP. CTP/dCTP support the reaction at higher concentrations, while UTP and dTTP can hardly be utilised at all) Drosophila melanogaster ?
