For Restriction Enzymes we have terms and definitions in 5 topics. The topics are Biology, Environment, Gene Testing, Huntingtons Disease and Microbiology.

Restriction Enzymes (Biology)

Catalyze the opening of a DNA molecule at a "restriction" point; many leave dangling ends of DNA molecules at the point where the DNA has been opened.

Restriction Enzymes (Environment)

Enzymes that recognize specific regions of a long DNA molecule and cut it at those points.

Restriction Enzymes (Gene Testing)

Enzymes that can cut strands of DNA at specific base sequences.

Restriction Enzymes (Huntingtons Disease)

Proteins produced by bacteria that break foreign DNA molecules at very specific sites; Enzymes that cut DNA. Different restriction enzymes cut at different sequences of nucleotides. For instance, one restriction enzyme will cut the DNA wherever it sees the sequence ACGGT, while another will cut when it sees CCTAT.

Restriction Enzymes (Microbiology)

An endonuclease enzyme, isolated from bacteria, that recognizes specific base-pair sequences within DNA and causes endonucleolytic cleavage of the DNA at a site determined by the recognized DNA sequences. The sites vary from frequent to rare cutting, depending upon the length of the restriction site.
