Abstract
Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complexes have been identified as the primary replicative helicases responsible for unwinding DNA for genome replication. The focus of this chapter is to discuss the current structural and functional understanding of MCMs and their role at origins of replication, which are based mostly on the studies of MCM proteins and MCM complexes from archaeal genomes.Mesh:
