Enzymes are the Tools of Enzymes are the Tools of DNA TechnologyDNA Technology
The tools of DNA technology are the same enzymes used by cells to modify their own DNA:– DNA Polymerases– DNA Ligase
One special class of enzyme is pivotal to the cloning of DNA and many other techniques used in DNA Technology
These enzymes are the restriction endonucleases– Restriction - Because for the way they work, they restrict bacteriophages
to only one host bacterial strain. They are also restricted to acting on only specific DNA sequences
– Endonuclease - They cut nucleic acids in the middle, not just the ends

Restriction EndonucleasesRestriction Endonucleases There are a number of different subclasses of restriction
endonucleases– Type I - Recognize specific sequences and cut DNA at a nonspecific
site > than 1,000 bp away– Type II - Recognize palindromic sequences and cut within the
palindrome– Type III - Recognize specific 5-7 bp sequences and cut 24-27 bp
downstream of the site. Type II restriction endonucleases are the most useful class as
they recognize specific palindromic sequences in DNA and cut the sugar phosphate backbone within the palindrome

What is a Palindrome?What is a Palindrome? A palindrome is anything that reads the same forwards and
backwards: English palindromes: Mom Dad Tarzan raised Desi Arnaz rat. Able was I ere I saw Elba (supposedly said by Napoleon) Doc note I dissent, a fast never prevents a fatness, I diet on
cod.

DNA PalindromesDNA Palindromes Because DNA is double stranded and the strands
run antiparallel, palindromes are defined as any double-stranded DNA in which reading 5’ to 3’ both are the same
Some examples: The EcoRI cutting site:– 5'-GAATTC-3'– 3'-CTTAAG-5'
The HindIII cutting site:– 5'-AAGCTT-3'– 3'-TTCGAA-5'

Uses of Restriction Uses of Restriction EndonucleasesEndonucleases
Because restriction endonucleases cut specific sequences they can be used to make “DNA fingerprints” of different samples of DNA. As long as the cutting site changes on the DNA or the distance between cutting sites changes, fragments of different sizes will be made.
Because Type II restriction endonucleases cut only at palindromes, they leave “sticky ends” that will base pair with any other fragment of DNA cut with the same enzyme. This is useful in cloning.

Gel ElectrophoresisGel Electrophoresis Separates DNA (or RNA or Protein) fragments on the basis of charge
and size Because DNA is an acid, it loses protons in basic buffers, thus it has a
negative charge that should be uniform per unit length Agarose (a polysaccharide) or other gel matrices are difficult for large
DNA fragments to move through The larger the fragment, the more difficulty it has moving through
gels By placing DNA in a gel, then applying a voltage across the gel, the
negatively charged DNA will move toward the positive pole Large fragments lag behind while small fragments move through the
gel relatively rapidly
