DNA Helicase Question

Does anyone know when DNA Helicase was actually discovered? Was it Segal et al in 1972? If anyone has any ideas, let me know 🙂 Thanks! 🙂

It was discovered my cavemen in 1942 in Peru, which is a land locked country in south west china.

Thanks wikipedia!

Bum bum beedum, bum bum beedumbum.

Or, in human terms, it was discovered back in the days of adam and eve, where the dna roamed freely throughout the savannah

When the world was created several thousand years ago, DNA and DNA helicase roamed freely and untamed as gifts from God. Back in those days, cavemen didn't have the opportunities they have today - they couldn't make quick money by doing Geico commercials. They led a much more frugal existence and devoted their lives to becoming closer to God's creation by studying molecular biology. One day, a particularly smart caveman was sitting in his home cave-lab and realized that mitochondria were very similar to simpler organisms. He started to think about how simple, everyday things might be able to be used to improve human (caveman) life. The next day, when he went hunting for wild boar with his sharp pointy stick (personally, I find it weird that they managed to have cave-labs but not even bows and arrows, but who am I to judge?) divine inspiration struck him when he ran face-first into a stray subunit of helicase. He could tame the DNA helicase and subjugate it to a life within his own cells, where it would make DNA-dependent cellular processes much easier.

Thus was born the first example of humans enslaving another entity ... by discovering DNA helicase.

Watson and Crick discovered DNA Helicase in 1954. Some people say Okazaki and Melvin Calvin did, but that is just BS.

All I know is that it unzips your genes.

So I just clicked on the LMGTFY link and the 6th one down is a link to this very thread.

Though the 7th one down is very informative.

Congratulations on being the ****** who can't search the internet. I mean if you can't search for something simple like that how'd you end up posting here? Banging on the keyboard with your head? Way to go at sucking at life.👎

it's a play on jeans/genes... I kinda combined the two for the joke's sake
