What is the role of the single strand binding proteins in dna replication?

Single-Stranded DNA Binding Protein (SSB) binds with high affinity in a cooperative manner to single-stranded DNA and does not bind well to double-stranded DNA. After binding single-stranded DNA, SSB destabilizes helical duplexes, thereby allowing DNA polymerases to access their substrate more easily. SSB is involved in DNA replication and recombination in vivo. It has also been used to visualize single-stranded DNA by electron microscopy.
