Scientists have long known that double-stranded DNA can be unwound into single-stranded DNA by molecular motor proteins called helicases, just like pulling a zipper. But researchers have discovered that the same machinery, after changing its shape, can also put the unwound DNA back together into double-stranded DNA.
