As soon as DnaB unwinds the two parental strands, they are engulfed by single‐stranded DNA‐binding proteins. These proteins bind to adjacent groups of 32 nucleotides. DNA covered by single‐stranded DNA‐binding proteins is rigid, without bends or kinks. It is, therefore, an excellent template for DNA synthesis. Single‐stranded binding proteins are sometimes called helix‐destabilizing proteins.
