Single stranded binding proteins (SSBs) are also known as helix-destabilising proteins[1]. They bind to exposed single stranded DNA during DNA replication which prevents the 2 strands from re-annealing after they have been unwound by DNA helicase[2]. They also prevent interactions within the single strand of DNA such as the formation of hairpin loops[3].
