With a specific restriction enyzme
It is true that Scientists use gel electrophoresis to cut DNA molecules at a specific sequence of nucleotides.
A restriction enzyme will cut a DNA sequence only if it matches the specific recognition sequence of that enzyme. These enzymes are highly specific and will cleave the DNA at a particular site when the target sequence is present in the DNA molecule.
The restriction enzyme EcoRI cuts DNA at a specific sequence of bases, which is GAATTC.
The specific DNA sequence recognized by the EcoRI restriction enzyme, known as the EcoRI cut site, is 5'-GAATTC-3'.
Scientists use restriction enzymes to cut out the specific part of DNA they want to copy. These enzymes recognize and cut DNA at specific sequences, allowing researchers to isolate the desired section for replication.
Restriction enzymes are used in DNA manipulation to cut DNA at specific sequences. To use them, first select the appropriate enzyme based on the target sequence. Then, mix the enzyme with the DNA sample and incubate at the optimal temperature. The enzyme will cut the DNA at the specific sequence, allowing for further manipulation such as cloning or analysis.
To determine the base sequence of DNA fragments on both sides of a cut, you would need to know the specific location and context of the cut made by a restriction enzyme or other DNA manipulation technique. Generally, the left side fragment will represent the sequence leading up to the cut site, while the right side fragment will contain the sequence that follows it. Without the specific sequence or context, it is impossible to provide the exact base sequences.
The recognition sequence for the BamHI cut site in DNA is 5'-GGATCC-3'.
Restriction enzyme cut the DNA at the specific site. Xho I is an example for restriction endonuclease which cut between C and T in the sequence of -CTCGAG- at the both strands. This is highly specific and hence they are used in DNA or gene cloning.
Scientists use an enzyme called restriction enzyme to cut genes out of strands of DNA.
They cut strands of DNA at specific sites.
Restriction enzymes (also known as restriction endonucleases) are proteins which cut DNA up at specific sequences in the genome. For example, the commonly used restriction endonuclease EcoRI recognizes every point in DNA with the sequence GAATTC, and cuts at the point between the Guanine and Adenine. Interestingly, the recognition sequences for most restriction endonucleases are genetic palindromes, e.g., the sequence reads exactly the same backwards on the complementary strand. In the case of EcoRI, the two complementary DNA strands for the recognition sequence are: 5'--GAATTC ---3'3'--CTTAAG--5'
