Free Which enzyme unwinds the DNA template to begin DNA replication? Animation

First, an enzyme called a DNA helicase separates the two strands of the DNA double helix. This forms a structure called a replication fork that has two exposed single strands. Other enzymes called DNA polymerases then use each strand as a template to build a new matching DNA strand. (eLife)
