Dead-box

RNA helicases Dead-box RNA helicases are enzymes that perform an essential role in the regulation of gene expression. They act as molecular motors, unwinding and separating RNA strands prior to their translation into proteins and they also play an important role in viral replication and pathogenesis. Due to their importance in RNA metabolism, dead-box RNA helicases have been the focus of much research and have played an important role in the development of targeted treatments for various diseases. They are a promising target for the development of novel therapeutics for a range of diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases.
