DNA helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds down the center of the strand. It begins at a site called the origin of replication, and it creates a replication fork by separating the two sides of the parental DNA.
An enzyme called DNA gyrase makes a nick in the double helix and each side separates; An enzyme called helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA; Several small proteins called single strand binding proteins (SSB) temporarily bind to each side and keep them separated An enzyme complex called DNA polymerase walks down the DNA strands and adds new nucleotides to each strand.
