Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes are a type of endonuclease that cleave DNA at specific recognition sites, often used in genetic engineering applications. They are not proteases or lipases, which are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins and lipids, respectively. They are also not exonucleases, which cleave nucleotides from the end of a DNA chain.
