Genetic Reengineering

Introduction

The paper discusses the DNA technology and various concepts related to genetic reengineering.

Enzymes in Recombinant DNA Technology

There are two main enzymes used as the recombinant DNA technology: a restriction enzyme and the DNA ligase. DNA ligase is an enzyme that forms covalent bonds between the 5 'end of a polynucleotide chain and the 3' end of another polynucleotide chain. Also called binding enzyme polynucleotides.

Functions

A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is one that can recognize a characteristic sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA and cut the DNA at that particular point, called site or restriction site, ...
