DNA Restriction Enzymes
• Evolved by bacteria to protect against viral DNA infection
• Endonucleases = cleave within DNA strands
• Over 3,000 known enzymes

Enzyme Site Recognition
• Each enzyme digests (cuts) DNA at a specific sequence = restriction site
• Enzymes recognize 4- or 6- base pair, palindromic sequences (eg GAATTC)
