Answer:  <u>Endonuclease enzymes used in molecular biology that cut DNA at specified points.</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specific protein types which bind to a substrate within a reaction, to increase the rate of reaction within the solution- they speed up the rate of reaction.

Restriction enzymes are bacteria-derived enzymes; these make cuts on deoxyribonucleic acid molecules or DNA. These are also called  restriction endonucleases. They are utilized in molecular biology for DNA cloning and sequencing and cut DNA into smaller pieces called fragments.

Restriction enzymes make directed cuts on DNA molecules. They precisely target sites on DNA to produce mostly identical or homogenous, discrete fragments of equal sizes, producing blunt or sticky ends. In order to do this, they recognize sequences of nucleotides that correspond with a complementary sequence on the endonuclease called restriction sites.

There are several kinds that may require cofactors (chemical or metallic compounds that aid in enzyme activity)  :

  • Type I: cleave far away from the recognition site; require ATP and  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine

  • Type II: cleave near to the site; require Magnesium

  • Type III: cleave near to the site; require ATP which is not hydrolysed but  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine is optional

  • Type IV: cleavage targeted to DNA that have undergone post transcriptional modification through certain types of methylation (addition of a methyl group)

Look at the dots around each symbol and the energy levels from the resources above;
Anton [14]

Hello! Here's the answer I was able to come up with:

<em>Why does Na have only one dot?</em>

Sodium, or Na, has only one valence electron.  (This makes the atom tend to participate in ionic bonding and "give" its single valence electron to an atom like chlorine.)

<em>Why do none of these diagrams show more than 8 dots?</em>

It is physically impossible for an atom to have more than 8 electrons in its valence layer, according to the Octet Rule.

<em>What relationship do you notice between the dots in these two charts?</em>

The dot diagram for each element represents the number of electrons each element will have in its outermost, or valence, shell. (2-8-8)

<em>The number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table. Why?</em>

An atom can have a maximum of two electrons in its innermost layer. Hydrogen and helium have only one and two electrons, respectively, so they don't have enough electrons to actually have more than one layer. Therefore, their outermost layer is, in fact, their only layer. This is why the number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table.

Don't copy this word for word! You will most likely be in trouble for plagiarism.  Instead, rewrite these ideas in your own words, or paraphrase. Good luck, and I know you can do it! ♥
