Restriction endonucleases are enzymes which
make cuts at specific positions within the DNA molecule
recognize a specific nucleotide sequence for binding of DNA ligase
restrict the action of the enzyme DNA Polymerase
remove nucleotides from the ends of the DNA molecule
As learnt in
Restriction Endonuclease -
These enzymes cleave DNA only within or near the specific base sequence. These sequences are called as recognition sites. They are of three types RE- I, RE-II and RE-III.
- wherein
1st Restriction enzyme (Hind II) was used in RDT.
