    DNA synthesis provides the driving force to accelerate DNA unwinding by a helicase

    Helicases are molecular motors that use the energy of nucleoside 5′-triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis to translocate along a nucleic acid strand and catalyse reactions such as DNA unwinding. The ring-shaped helicase1
