प्रश्न
Explain with the help of a suitable example the naming of a restriction endonuclease.
उत्तर
The naming of a restriction endonuclease is done in the following way:
-
Ist letter represents the genus of the organism from which the enzyme is derived.
-
IInd and IIIrd letters represent the species of the organism.
-
IVth letter represents the name of the strain.
-
Roman number represents order of isolation.
For example, In EcoRI − Derived from E.coli, strain R.
It is the Ist to be discovered.
