up the DNA helix just like a zipper. As a result,
DNA Helicase
the DNA's two entwined arms separate
from one another. DNA helicase has
the ability to open 1,000 nucleo-
tide pairs a second.
As the DNA arms
separate, helix sta-
bilizing enzymes
hold both arms to
prevent them wrap-
ping round each other
once again.
As DNA helicase opens
the zipper, it suddenly halts. The points
where it stops set the two ends of the required information. Enzymes
behave with enormous expertise, just as if they knew where the data
began and ended.

It is now the turn of DNA pol-
ymerase whose job, as you saw
earlier, is to complete the divided
arms of the DNA with a second
arm of each. It therefore locates
and fetches information cor-
responding to that one arm
of the DNA.
DNA polymerase pro-
duces new strips in a complete
and flawless manner. Cytosine in
