DNA/RNA helicase activity

id: GO:0033677
name: DNA/RNA helicase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the reaction: NTP + H2O = NDP + phosphate; this reaction drives the unwinding of a DNA/RNA duplex, i.e. a double helix in which a strand of DNA pairs with a complementary strand of RNA.
