Protein domain (active) of the restriction endonuclease FokI

This part is used as the active domain of our universal restriction endonuclease. It cut DNA, when it fused with the inactive protein domain of our universal restriction endonuclease(BBa_K243001)and linked with specific oligos.


Sequence specific nuclease(1968)

The researchers H.O. Smith, K.W. Wilcox, and T.J. Kelley (Johns Hopkins University 1968), were the first persons who isolated and characterized the first restriction nuclease whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence. This was a big breakthrough for the genetic engineering, it gave the scientists a tool for working with the DNA. Now over forty years later over 3000 restriction enzymes have been studied in detail, and more than 600 of these are available commercially and are routinely used for DNA modification and manipulation in laboratories.
