	Restriction enzyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Restriction enzymes therefore are believed to be a mechanism evolved by bacteria to resist viral attack and to help in the removal of viral sequences.
		Because recognition sequences and cleavage sites differ between restriction enzymes, the length and the exact sequence of a sticky-end "overhang", as well as whether it is the 5' end or the 3' end strand that overhangs, depends on which enzyme produced it.
		If a restriction enzyme can be found such that it cuts only one possible allele of a section of DNA (that is, the alternate nucleotide of the SNP causes the restriction site to no longer exist within the section of DNA), this restriction enzyme can be used to genotype the sample without completely sequencing it.

		Enzymes are essential to sustain life because most chemical reactions in biological cells would occur too slowly, or would lead to different products, without enzymes.
		Enzymes are usually specific as to the reactions they catalyze and the substrates that are involved in these reactions.
		Enzymes are very specific and it was suggested by Emil Fischer in 1890 that this was because the enzyme had a particular shape into which the substrate(s) fit exactly.

		The position where the enzyme cuts the DNA is determined by a sequence of nucleotides that differs for each enzyme.
		Restriction enzymes allow the splicing of DNA from one source (or species) into another.
		Note that the DNA sequences recognised by these enzymes are palindromic-the sequence on one strand reads the same in the opposite direction on the complementary strand.

	Restriction Digestion of DNA
		Restriction enzymes are expensive ($40 to $200 a vial): keep the enzymes at -20 C. Plan your digests to be small and convenient.
		The one unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount needed to digest 1 µg of a specific DNA in a 50 µl digest at the appropriate temperature (usually 37 C).
		If multiple digests are to be done with the same enzyme, pool the 10X restriction buffer with a portion of the H2O, add the total amount of enzyme required to this mix and pipet this into the prepared sample containing the DNA and the balance of the H2O.

	Support, restriction enzymes: Troubleshooting
		Activity of restriction enzymes is usually determined using phage lambda DNA as a substrate.
		Enzyme activity depends on the nature of the DNA substrate - linear, supercoiled or agarose-embedded, number of recognition sequences, nature of nucleotides flanking the recognition sequence.
		If the restriction enzyme can not be heat-inactivated at 65°C (thermostable), phenol deproteinization and/or ethanol precipitation of the fragments after the restriction reaction should be performed.

		A common use for restriction enzymes is to generate a "fingerprint" of a particular DNA molecule.
		A restriction enzyme reaction contains the DNA to be analyzed, a restriction enzyme, and a restriction enzyme buffer mix.

	Restriction Enzyme Digestion of DNA: Introduction
		Restriction enzymes are enzymes isolated from bacteria that recognize specific sequences in DNA and then cut the DNA to produce fragments, called restriction fragments.
		Restriction enzymes play a very important role in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules, as is done in gene cloning experiments.
		This activity is designed to enhance your understanding and retention by illustrating DNA structure, restriction enzyme digestion of DNA, analysis of digested DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the principles involved in constructing a restriction map from primary data.

	Restriction Enzyme Action of EcoRI
		Restriction enzymes, also called restriction nucleases (EcoRI in this example), surrounds the DNA molecule at the point it seeks(sequence GAATTC).
		It cuts one strand of the DNA double helix at one point and the second strand at a different, complementary point (between the G and the A base).
		EcoRI, one of many restriction enzymes, is obtained from the bacteria Escherichia coli.

	Bio 572: Restriction Endonucleases
		The enzyme breaks the phosphodiester bonds between the fifth and sixth nucleotides in the recognition sequence.
		Not all restriction enzymes recognize sequences that are palindromic.
		Restriction enzymes that do not recognize palindromic sequences might therefore be described in some references using multiple sequences, since the top and bottom strand read differently.

	Restriction enzyme digestion of DNA (basic method)
		Suppose you are digesting a plasmid that comprises 3kb of vector and 2kb of insert.
		You are using EcoRI (a common restriction enzyme) and you expect to see three bands: the linearised vector (3kb), the 5' end of the insert (0.5kb) and the 3' end of the insert (1.5kb).
		Enzyme: 0.5µl of enzyme is plenty for a miniprep digestion.

	HIV & AIDS - Retroviruses... Revisited
		In 1970 molecular biology made a U-turn when it was found that DNA could be synthesised from an RNA template by the action of a hitherto unknown enzyme which was given the name reverse transcriptase (RT).
		The viral samples used by Temin and Baltimore were obtained, as far as is known, from bands sedimenting in sucrose gradients at a density of 1.16 gm/ml.
		However, electron microscopy was apparently not used by the authors to control the level of purity of the viral samples and the absence of contamination by cellular debris.

	Restriction Enzymes - Background
		These new studies were, however, dependent on the discovery and use of the many enzymes that are able to modify or join existing DNA molecules, or to aid in the synthesis of new DNA molecules.
		The first type of enzyme was called a "methylase" while the other was called a "restriction nuclease." These enzymatic tools were important to scientists who were gathering the tools needed to "cut and paste" DNA molecules.
		These restriction enzymes generally have names that reflect their origin--The first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.

		Maps of restriction enzyme cleavage sites are useful in planning not only cloning projects but also in gene identification, forensics, sequencing and mutagenesis projects.
		Below is a description and examples of three methods used to organize restriction enzyme location on DNA fragments.
		When a fragment of DNA with an unknown restriciton map is cloned into a vector containing many flanking restriction enzyme sites, it is fairly easy to identify the location of most single cuts within the unknown portion.
