Yes definitely. Enzymes such as endonucleases, lysing enzymes, cleaving enzymes, synthesizing enzymes and alkaline phosphatases can be used.

Zeba, please explain the steps involved in recombinant DNA technology ( brief would do).


By Zeba Malik Answered 5 years ago

Sure. 1)Isolation of DNA segment The DNA is used as a passenger and is taken out from the cell using suitable enzyme. The DNA is then isolated from the cell contents and are cleaved using endonuclease to have complementary sticky ends . 2) Formation of recombinant DNA The complementary sticky ends pair and their ends must be sealed with ligase. This generates a recombinant DNA. 3) Production of multiple copies of recombinant DNA Next produce multiple copies of recombinant DNA. 4) Introduction of recombinant DNA into host Yeast or bacteria are used as hosts for recombinant DNA. (The bacteria used as hosts should be without plasmids). 5) Screening of the transformed cells Next step is to investigate which of the cells nurture recombinant DNA molecule that consists of gene of interest.
