A restriction enzyme, restriction endonuclease, or restrictase is an enzyme that cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within molecules known as restriction sites. Restriction enzymes cut double-stranded DNA* at specific locations based the pattern of bases found at those locations. These enzymes predictably cut both strands because the sequences they recognize are palindromic. That is the recognition sequences are short string of identical bases on both DNA strands.As a set of paired sequences (one on each of the strands of a double strand of DNA), the palindromes recognized by restriction enzymes follow a slightly different set of rules. They are probably more properly referred to as palindromic sequences to distinguish them from language palindromes. Palindromic sequences are a short run of bases (typically 3 to 5 in length), follow by their complementary bases in reverse order. For example the recognition sequence for BamHI is GGATCC. The first three bases GGA are followed by the complement of those three bases in reverse order: TCC. The complement to the whole six base strand is CCTAGG, read backwards (as it would be when reading from 5’ to 3’ on the complementary strand) is GGATCC, an exact match for the original strand.
