Restriction enzymes should not have more...

Restriction enzymes should not have more than one site of action in the cloning site of a vector. Comment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Enzymes should not have more than one site of action. This is because vectors have very few recognition sites for commonly used restriction enzymes. If it will have more than one restriction sites it will generate various fragments. This will complicate the process of genetic engineering.
