The restriction endonuclease is having a defence mechanism in the bacterial system against foreign DNA such as viruses. But how it is able to protect its own DNA?
The restriction endonuclease is having a defence mechanism in the bacterial system against foreign DNA such as viruses. But how it is able to protect its own DNA? Correct Answer By methylation of bacterial DNA by restriction enzyme
The bacterial DNA is methylated by restriction enzyme and thus now it is not recognized by the restriction endonuclease. Thus methylation prevents the restriction endonuclease from cutting its own DNA.
