DNA helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds down the center of the strand. It begins at a site called the origin of replication, and it creates a replication fork by separating the two sides of the parental DNA.
An enzyme called RNA polymerase starts at the opening sequence of a strand of DNA, called the promoter sequence, and then unwinds the DNA double helix little by little and transcribes that entire strand of DNA into mRNA. All of this occurs within the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell.
