Separating speed and ability to displace roadblocks during DNA translocation by FtsK

FtsK translocates dsDNA directionally at &gt; 5 kb/s, even under strong forces. <em>In vivo</em>, the action of FtsK at the bacterial division septum is required to complete the final stages of chromosome unlinking and segregation. Despite the availability of translocase structures,...
