Restriction enzymes are essential tools for recombinant DNA technology that have revolutionized modern biological research; however, they have limited sequence specificity and availability. The ...

In the early 1950s, experiments by two teams of researchers, Salvador Luria working with Mary Human and Joe Bertani working with Jean Weigle, showed that some strains of bacteria were more resistant ...

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

I remember clearly the first time I made a supervised trip, as an undergraduate student, to the departmental freezer to obtain a precious aliquot of restriction enzyme. Its real value, however, only ...

Mek & Tosj on Monday released a new version (2.0) of EnzymeX, a Mac OS X-only program designed to assist molecular biologists in their work with restriction enzymes. The new version touts over 50 new ...
