How is DNA fragmented with restriction enzymes? What sites are recognized? How do we determine how often recognition sites are found? Please provide an explanation.

Solutions

Expert Solution

A restriction enzyme (or restrictase) cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within DNA known as restriction sites and the enzymes make two incisions through each sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA double helix.
