The arginine finger of bacteriophage T7 gene 4 helicase: Role in energy coupling

The DNA helicase encoded by gene 4 of bacteriophage T7 couples DNA unwinding to the hydrolysis of dTTP. The loss of coupling in the presence of orthovanadate (Vi) suggests that the γ-phosphate of dTTP plays an important role in this mechanism. The crystal structure of the hexameric helicase shows Ar...
