CLASSIFICATION OF RESTRICTION ENZYMES
Cut DNA at random far from their recognition sequences.
Type 1
Cut DNA at defined positions close to or within their recognition sequences.
Type 2
Cut modified (e.g. methylated) DNA.
Type 4
Cut DNA outside of two recognition sequences in opposite orientations.
Type 3
MECHANISM OF RESTRICTION ENZYMES
1.
2.
3.
- SCAN - Look fo a particular pattern of
nucleotides:ENZYME’S RECOGNITION
SEQUENCE - BIND- The enzyme will bind the DNA
molecule. - CUT- The enzyme cuts in each of the two
sugarphosphate backbones of the
double helix
