摘要
The MCM2-7 complex is essential for both the initiation and elongation phases of eukaryotic chromosome replication. There is some evidence that MCM2-7 proteins may act as a DNA helicase; at the same time, a variety of other DNA helicases have also been implicated in the replication of eukaryotic chromosomes.
