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.
However, DNA does not unzip entirely. It unzips in a small area called a replication fork, which then moves down the entire length of the molecule. Let's look at the details: 1  An enzyme called DNA gyrase makes a nick in the double helix and each side separates.2  An enzyme called helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA.NA Replication. Â­DNA carries the information for making all of the cell's proteins. These proÂ­teins implement all of the functions of a living organism and determine the organism'Â­s characteristics. When the cell reproduces, it has to pass all of this information on to the daughter cells.
