Active DNA unwinding and transport by a membrane-adapted helicase nanopore

Active DNA unwinding and transport by a membrane-adapted helicase nanopore

Active translocation of DNA through nanopores usually needs enzyme assistance. Here authors present a nanopore derived from helicase E1 of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) which acts as a conductive pore embedded in lipid membrane to allow the translocation of ssDNA and unwinding of dsDNA.
