The average spacing of restriction enzyme recognition sites in DNA.
The discovery of naturally occurring enzymes which cleave DNA at sites specific to particular nucleotide sequences has had a great impact on molecular biology. The function of these enzymes in uivo is to protect bacterial cells from viral invasion by degradation of foreign DNA. Several hundred of these “restriction” enzymes are known and they are a very common tool both for analysis and manipul...
متن کاملSignatures of protein-DNA recognition in free DNA binding sites.
One obstacle to achieving complete understanding of the principles underlying sequence-dependent recognition of DNA is the paucity of structural data for DNA recognition sequences in their free (unbound) state. Here, we carried out crystallization screening of 50 DNA duplexes containing cognate protein binding sites and obtained new crystal structures of free DNA binding sites for three distinc...
متن کاملRestriction Enzyme Recognition Sequence
A critical and difficult part of characterizing restriction enzymes and methylases is the identification of recognition sequences. To simplify this process, we have developed a plasmid transformation method along with a computer program named RM search that determines the exact recognition sequences for given restriction and modifica-
متن کاملEnzyme-free cloning: a rapid method to clone PCR products independent of vector restriction enzyme sites.
We describe a simple method for the cloning of PCR products without the need for post-amplification enzymatic treatment. Tailed PCR primer sets are used to create complementary staggered overhangs on both insert and vector by a post-PCR denaturation-hybridisation reaction. The single-stranded overhangs are designed to allow directional cloning in a ligase-free manner. This 'enzyme-free cloning'...
متن کاملEnzyme-free genetic copying of DNA and RNA sequences
The copying of short DNA or RNA sequences in the absence of enzymes is a fascinating reaction that has been studied in the context of prebiotic chemistry. It involves the incorporation of nucleotides at the terminus of a primer and is directed by base pairing. The reaction occurs in aqueous medium and leads to phosphodiester formation after attack of a nucleophilic group of the primer. Two aspe...
