High-resolution fleezers reveal duplex opening and stepwise assembly by an oligomer of the DEAD-box helicase Ded1p by Eric M. Patrick, Rajeev Yadav, Kasun Senanayake, Kyle Cotter, Andrea A. Putnam, Eckhard Jankowsky, Matthew J. Comstock

“…Using high-resolution optical tweezers and fluorescence, we reveal a highly dynamic and stochastic process of multiple Ded1p protomers assembling on and unwinding an RNA duplex. One Ded1p protomer binds to a duplex-adjacent ssRNA tail and promotes binding and subsequent unwinding of the duplex by additional Ded1p protomers in 4–6 bp steps. …”
