additional information |
the enzyme has a DNA-dependent ATPase activity and is a 3'-5' DNA helicase dependent on hydrolysis of ATP. The enzyme can unwind substrate with a single-stranded region 3' but not 5' of a double-stranded region, and can also anneal complementary single strands. The enzyme shows no activity in the absence of nucleotide cofactor or in the presence of ADP or the nonhydrolyzable homolog AMPPNP |
