Endonuclease: An enzyme which digests nucleic acids starting in the middle of the strand (as opposed to an exonuclease, which must start at an end). Examples include the restriction enzymes, DNase I and RNase A.

To cut DNA molecules with one or more restriction endonucleases. Diploid cell. A cell which contains two copies of each chromosome. See Haploid cell. Directional cloning.

The name is derived from the fact that these sequences are cleaved by the restriction endonuclease Alu. Amino acid sequence -- the linear order of the amino acids in a protein or peptide.

restriction endonucleases Site-specific endonucleases causing cleavage of both strands of DNA at points within or near the specific site recognized by the enzyme. Many generate sticky ends, making them important tools in genetic engineering.

A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is an enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA. The enzyme makes two incisions, one through each of the phosphate backbones of the double helix without damaging the bases.

Restriction enzyme More correctly called a Type II Restriction Endonuclease. A bacterial enzyme which forms part of a system to protect the cell against infection by bacteriophage, and unregulated influx of foreign DNA.

At the entry site, endonucleases cut the DNA into fragments of 7,000-10,000 nucleotides, and the double-stranded DNA separates into single strands. The single-stranded DNA may recombine with the host's chromosome once inside the cell.

The DNA is then cut into restriction fragments by endonucleases, which only cut where there are specific DNA sequences recognized by the enzymes. The restriction fragments are then separated according to length by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith received the 1978 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their isolation of restriction endonucleases, which are able to cut DNA at specific sites.
