  2. Restriction enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_enzyme

    A restriction enzyme, restriction endonuclease, REase, ENase or restrictase is an enzyme that cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within molecules known as restriction sites. [1] [2] [3] Restriction enzymes are one class of the broader endonuclease group of enzymes.

  3. List of restriction enzyme cutting sites: A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_restriction_enzyme...

    This article contains a list of restriction enzymes whose names start with A and have a clearly defined cutting site. The following information is given for each enzyme: Name of Restriction Enzyme: Accepted name of the molecule, according to the internationally adopted nomenclature, [1] [2] and bibliographical references. Note: When ...

  4. List of restriction enzyme cutting sites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_restriction_enzyme...

    A restriction enzyme or restriction endonuclease is a special type of biological macromolecule that functions as part of the "immune system" in bacteria.One special kind of restriction enzymes is the class of "homing endonucleases", these being present in all three domains of life, although their function seems to be very different from one domain to another.

  5. Restriction modification system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_modification...

    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.

  6. Endonuclease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endonuclease

    Restriction enzymes are endonucleases from eubacteria and archaea that recognize a specific DNA sequence. [3] The nucleotide sequence recognized for cleavage by a restriction enzyme is called the restriction site. Typically, a restriction site will be a palindromic sequence about four to six nucleotides long. Most restriction endonucleases ...

  7. Fragmentation (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(cell_biology)

    Restriction enzymes are endonucleases produced by bacteria that typically recognize small base pair sequences (called restriction sites) and then cleave both strands of DNA at this site. [2] A restriction site is typically a palindromic sequence, which means that the restriction-site sequence is the same on each strand of DNA when read in the 5 ...

  8. HindIII - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HindIII

    While restriction enzymes cleave at specific DNA sequences, they are first required to bind non-specifically with the DNA backbone before localizing to the restriction site. On average, the restriction enzyme will form 15-20 hydrogen bonds with the bases of the recognition sequence.
