Best Answer

A restriction map plots restriction sites within a chain of DNA. You cannot create a restriction map without restriction enzymes. Restriction sites are points in a DNA molecule that contain certain strings of nucleotides, which can only be identified by restriction enzymes.

Can Restriction Enzymes be used on all DNA?

Restriction enzymes cut DNA at sites called restriction sites on the DNA. These restriction sites are specific sequences of 6 - 8 nucleotide bases. Restriction enzymes can be used on all types of DNA. If the DNA is cut by a certain restriction enzyme, then we know that the DNA contained the restriction site. This sort of an experiment is called restriction site analysis


Describe the difference between a single digest and a double digest?

Restriction enzymes (endonucleases) are used for a variety of reasons in molecular genetics, including obtaining a "map" and cloning DNA. Single digests consitute DNA being treated with one restriction endonuclease, whereas double digests contain 2 enzymes. At times, it is difficult (or not possible) to perform double digests ... especially when the 2 enzymes have very different requirements for their activities (e.g. salt concentration, temperature optimums, ...). If a DNA restriction map is known for a particular enzyme, and if the DNA is treated with this enzyme, then one can ascertain whether the digest was complete or not. However, if a restrictioin map is just being compiled, and if the DNA is treated with 2 enzymes in a double digest, at times difficulties may arise in determining the map if either (or both) enzymes did not completely digest the DNA.
