Restriction enzyme digestion continues to be one of the most common techniques used by researchers who carry out DNA cloning experiments.

This method relies upon the use of proteins called restriction enzymes, which can cut, or digest, DNA molecules at short, specific sequences called restriction sites. After a DNA segment has been ...

A special group of enzymes called Restriction Endonucleases cleave double-stranded DNA only at a limited number of specific recognition sites. During this week you will carry out restriction digestion ...

Enzymes also help with nerve function, respiration, digestion, muscle growth and much more. "The list is very long," says Farina. One of the things that makes enzymes unique is that they are not ...

Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of ...
