DpnII Composite

This sequence codes for the restriction enzyme DpnII.

Detail

This is a Type II restriction enzyme that recognises the sequence GATC. Its activity can be blocked by dam methylation.

The working temperature is 37°C.

As part of the Imperial 2009 iGEM E.ncapsulator project, TaqI was used along with DpnII to cut up the genetic material within the cell, completing the cell death module.

DpnII is a 4 base cutter, leaving a 4 base overhang.

The cutting site is as shown:
