Role of Single-Stranded Binding Protein in DNA Replication

Medium Biochemistry Nucleic Acids And Dna Replication

During DNA replication, the unwinding of the double helix is performed by specialized enzymes. One of these enzymes is critical for separating the two strands of the DNA helix, allowing for the synthesis of new complementary strands. Which enzyme is primarily responsible for maintaining the stability of the unwound DNA and preventing the formation of secondary structures?
