A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Would a restriction enzyme by another name cut as well? Probably. However, restriction enzymes also have a standardized naming system that ensures each enzyme’s name is unique. That’s good news…
Since its discovery, restriction enzymes have played a major role in the advancement of many important biotech experiments. Given its importance, here’s a quick guide with everything you need to know about restriction enzymes and the cool experiments you can…
What are restriction enzymes? Restriction endonucleases (also known as restriction enzymes) act like molecular scissors, cutting double-stranded DNA at specific sequences. They are produced by many species of bacteria to protect themselves from invading viral DNA. The utility of restriction…
Our next EDVOTEK® at Home lesson is modeled off of our kit Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA. In this lesson, students will virtually explore restriction digests, gel electrophoresis, and size determination using a standard curve.While we believe hands-on experimentation is…
