Research on RecQ helicases has found that fork sensing and strand switching control their antagonistic activities. A study published in Nature used single-molecule studies to examine the behavior of the WRN helicase core during DNA unwinding. The study revealed that the WRN helicase core reciprocates along single-stranded DNA during this process.
