    It unzips the double helix structure by breaking the hydrogen bonds.

    Explanation:

    Basically, the enzyme runs down the center of the double helix separating the strands like a zipper so other enzymes needed for DNA replication such as DNA polymerase and topo-isomerase can come and add complimentary bases to the separated strands.
