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.
