Properties of Type II Restriction Enzymes:
Type II restriction enzymes are commonly used in genetic engineering. They possess the following properties:
They recognize specific DNA sequences, typically palindromic.
They cleave DNA at specific positions within or near their recognition sequences.
They generate “sticky” or “blunt” ends, depending on their cutting pattern.
They are used to cut DNA at precise locations in genetic engineering processes like cloning and DNA fragment analysis.
