Entity
SSB proteins
Proteins that bind to the single-stranded DNA exposed during replication.
They are proteins that bind to the single-stranded DNA exposed during replication, without sequence specificity.
They prevent the separated strands from reannealing to each other and protect them from degradation by nucleases, keeping them accessible to the replication machinery.
The video states that, at the replication fork, they stabilize the strands separated by helicase to prevent their reunification and protect them from degradation by nucleases.
Relations
- SSB proteins → stabilize the strands in → DNA replication

Proteínas de unión a cadena sencilla, SSB por sus siglas en inglés, estabilizan estas cadenas separadas para evitar su reunificación y protegerlas de la degradación por nucleasas.
