Which of the following statements does not hold true for restriction enzyme?
(a) It recongnises a palindromic nucleotide sequence
(b) It is an endonuclease.
(c) It is isolated from viruses
(d) It produces the same kind of sticky ends in different DNA molecules

A

It recongnises a palindromic nucleotide sequence

B

It is an endonuclease.

C

It is isolated from viruses

D

It produces the same kind of sticky ends in different DNA molecules

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
More than 900 restriction enzymes have been isolated from over 230 strains of basteria each of which recongnise different recongition sequences. No restriction enzyme is isolated from viruses.

Study the given data and answer the questions that follow. A sample of an enzyme called lactase was isolated from the intestinal lining of a calf. Assays were undertaken to evaluate the activity of the enzyme sample. The substrate of lactase is the disaccharide lactose. Lactase breaks a lactose molecule in two, producing a glucose molecule and a galactose molecule. Two assays were carried out. {:("Lactose concentration (% w/v)",15,15,15,15,15,15),("Concentration of enzyme smaple (%v/v)",0,5,10,15,20,25),("Reaction rate "mu"mole glucose "sec^(-1)mL^(-1),0,25,50,75,100,125):} {:("Lactose concentration (% w/v)",0,5,10,15,25,30),("Concentration of enzyme smaple (%v/v)",5,5,5,5,5,5),("Reaction rate "mu"mole glucose "sec^(-1)mL^(-1),0,15,25,35,40,40):} Which of the following statements can be concluded from the two assays ?
