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