Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromatin remodeling proteins are responsible for facilitating the unfolding of chromatin fibers ahead of the replication fork. They play a crucial role in DNA replication by allowing access to the DNA strands for the replisomal proteins that replicate the DNA. Helicases are involved in unwinding the double-stranded DNA molecule, and scaffold proteins provide structural support and organization to the chromatin fibers. However, neither of these proteins are specifically responsible for unfolding chromatin fibers ahead of the replication fork. Therefore, choices A, B, D, and E are incorrect.
