The mechanism of DNA unwinding by the eukaryotic replicative helicase

How the eukaryotic helicase unzips DNA during replication is not well understood. By measuring the real-time motion of purified CMG unwinding DNA with magnetic tweezers, the authors reveal the dynamics where isolated CMG unwinds via a biased random walk with proclivity to pause.
