Restriction enzymes made simple Flashcards
1
Q
palindromic sequence
A
consist of antiprallel base pairs, read the same opposite direction
2
Q
restriction enzymwe
A
enzymes that recognise specific palindromic sequency, known as recognition sequences, and cute the DNA at these places
3
Q
why do different restriction enzymes cut at different place
A
- shape of recognition sequence is complementary to the enzymes active site
4
Q
what type of reaction is it
A
hydrolysis
5
Q
sticky ends
A
small tails fo unpaired bases
