Illustration of the DEAD-box helicase DbpA from Escherichia coli in its active conformation bound to a single-stranded/double-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid, blue) junction. DEAD-box helicases are RNA-binding proteins that unwind double-stranded RNA. DbpA plays an important role in the maturation of ribosomes, which are composed of protein and RNA and are the site of translation, the process of protein synthesis. | |
