Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences called restriction sites. They are widely used in molecular biology for a variety of purposes, including gene cloning, genetic engineering, and DNA sequencing.
Restriction enzymes are produced by bacteria as a defense mechanism against invading viruses or foreign DNA. These enzymes recognize and cut DNA at specific sequences, which are usually palindromic and typically four to six base pairs in length. After cutting the DNA, the enzyme leaves sticky or blunt ends, depending on the type of restriction enzyme
