Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionTo estimate the number of cleavage sites in a particular piece of DNA with a known size, you can apply the formula N/4ⁿ where N is the number of base pairs in the target DNA and n is the number of bases in the recognition sequence of the restriction enzyme. If the recognition sequence for BamHI is GGATCC and the phage DNA contains approximately 48,500 bp, how many cleavage sites would you expect?
