Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complexes have been identi fied as the primary replicative helicases responsible for unwinding DNA for genome replication. This chapter discusses the current structural and functional understanding of MCMs and their role at origins of replication, which is based substantially on studies of MCM proteins complexes from archaeal genomes.
