Question

bacteria produce a variety of restriction enzymes which cut the DNA at specific site characterized by specific sequence of 4 or 6 nucleotides arranged symmetrically in reverse order..

Answer 1

i am bit confused about these lines...
(characterized by specific sequence of 4 or 6 nucleotides arranged symmetrically in reverse order..) = is it talking about palindromic sequences ?

Answer 2

@agreene @Abhisar

Answer 3

I think so

Answer 4

yeah..about palindromic sequences recognized by restriction enzymes...the restriction sites

Answer 5

@BIOCRYSTAL ok can u please elaborate the words arranged symmetricaly in reverse order

Answer 8

yea I do think it is talking about palindromic sequences. When it says arranged symmetrically, I believe it means that it is arranging in a certain corresponding order which is reverse or 'backwards' order.

Answer 9

hmm ,, i m getting it :)

Answer 10

oh good :-)
