The restriction modification system (RM system) is found in bacteria and archaea, and provides a defense against foreign DNA, such as that borne by bacteriophages.. Bacteria have restriction enzymes, also called restriction endonucleases, which cleave double-stranded DNA at specific points into fragments, which are then degraded further by other endonucleases.
Restriction endonuclease (REase) EcoRII (pronounced "eco R two") is an enzyme of restriction modification system (RM) naturally found in Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacteria. Its molecular mass is 45.2 kDa , being composed of 402 amino acids .
EcoRI is an example of type II restriction enzymes which now has more the 300 enzymes with more than 200 different sequence-specificities, which has transformed molecular biology and medicine. [ 3 ] EcoRI, discovered in 1970, was isolated by PhD student Robert Yoshimori who investigated clinical E. coli isolates that contained restriction ...
[4] [5] Inside a prokaryote, the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction digestion; meanwhile, host DNA is protected by a modification enzyme (a methyltransferase) that modifies the prokaryotic DNA and blocks cleavage. Together, these two processes form the restriction modification system. [6]
Type III site-specific deoxyribonuclease (EC 3.1.21.5, type III restriction enzyme, restriction-modification system) is an enzyme. [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction Endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'- phosphates
Saudi Arabia started a project in 2011 to digitize all text books other than Math and Science. [citation needed] The Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) and the U.S. State Department launched an Open Book Project in 2013, supporting "the creation of Arabic-language open educational resources (OERs)".

DNA adenine methylase, (Dam) [1] (also site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific), EC 2.1.1.72, modification methylase, restriction-modification system) is an enzyme that adds a methyl group to the adenine of the sequence 5'-GATC-3' in newly synthesized DNA.
E. coli BL21(DE3) lacks a functional type I restriction-modification system, indicated by hsdS(r B − m B −). Specifically, both the restriction (hsdR) and modification (hsdM) domains are inactive. This enhances transformation efficiency since exogenously introduced unmethylated DNA remains untargeted by the restriction-modification system. [9]
