प्रश्न
What are the restriction endonucleases? Give the rules of their nomenclature.
Advertisements
उत्तर
They cut DNA duplex at specific points. They are molecular scissors.
Rules: Restriction endonucleases are named by using the first letter of the name of the genus followed by the first two letters of species from which these enzymes are isólated. All three letters are written in italics.
