Cornell researchers have answered a fundamental question about how two strands of DNA separate to start a process called replication, in which genes copy themselves. The research examined the role of an enzyme called a helicase, which plays a major role in separating DNA strands. Share: FULL STORY.
This is known as enzyme digestion. On double stranded DNA the recognition sequence is on both strands, but runs in opposite directions. This allows the enzyme to cut both strands. Sometimes the cut is blunt, sometimes the cut is uneven with dangling nucleotides on one of the two strands.
