DNA is bound within the central hole to one or two of the six subunits of the T7 DNA helicase

Nature Structural Biology volume 3, pages 740–743 (1996)Cite this article

Electron microscopic image analysis and protein–DNA crosslinking show that DNA binds asymmetrically to the hexameric bacteriophage T7 gp4b helicase, and binds to only one or two subunits
