Restriction endonucleases are enzymes found in bacteria and archaea. They are part of the bacteria's defense mechanism against invading foreign DNA, such as viruses, by cutting it into smaller fragments. These enzymes are widely used in molecular Biology for techniques like gene cloning and DNA fingerprinting.
A restriction enzyme is a type of endonuclease. Endonucleases are enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences, while restriction enzymes specifically cut DNA at recognition sites called restriction sites.
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments are called restriction endonucleases or restriction enzymes. These enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA at or near these sequences, generating DNA fragments with defined ends.
enzymes known as restriction endonucleases. These enzymes recognize specific nucleotide sequences and cleave the DNA at those sites. This process is often used in molecular biology for tasks such as gene cloning and DNA sequencing.
The restriction site is a sequence of DNA that is recognized by an endonuclease, or a protein that cuts DNA, as a site at which the DNA is to be cut. This cutting happens when restriction enzyme cleaves nucleotides by hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bond between them.
