DNA restriction enzymes are proteins that cut DNA at specific sequences. Each restriction enzyme is specific to a small (commonly 4-6 base pair) sequence. These enzymes can be used to cut DNA into fragments in a specific and repeatable fashion. Uses include preparation of DNA for Southern blotting.--Raymond Shillito 21:08, 19 September 2008 (CDT)
