You have been asked to clone the first enzyme of the leucine biosynthesis pathway from E. coli. To accomplish this objective, you have decided to purify the genomic DNA and treat with EcoRI (5’-G?AATTC-3’) restriction endonuclease. The genome size for E. coli is 6x106 bp (base pairs). After treatment with EcoRI with proper reaction conditions, you have found that the DNA was not digested by the restriction endonuclease EcoR1. However, when the same purified genomic DNA was treated with another...
