Abstract

Restriction Endonucleases: Exposing Nature's Molecular Scissors

Meredith K. Hawthorne

In the field of molecular biology, restriction endonucleases, commonly known as restriction enzymes, stand as indispensable tools that have revolutionized genetic research and biotechnology. These enzymes are nature's molecular scissors, capable of cleaving DNA molecules at specific sequences, thereby enabling scientists to manipulate and study genetic material with precision and control.
