It is composed of elastic fibers in an otherwise thin homogenous layer.asal membrane, a sheet of tissue that forms the outer layer of the choroid and lies just under the pigmented layer of the retina.

There are several enzymes that 'unzip' DNA. These enzymes are collectively known as DNA helicases. DNA helicases are helix-destabilizing enzymes that bind to DNA at the origin of replication and break hydrogen bonds, thereby separating the two strands.. Solomon, Eldra P., Linda R. Berg, and Diana W. Martin. Biology. 8th ed. Belmont, CA: Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2008.
1 An enzyme called helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA. 2  Several small proteins called single strand binding proteins (SSB) temporarily bind to each side and keep them separated. 3  An enzyme complex called DNA polymerase walks down the DNA strands and adds new nucleotides to each strand.
