    Study Notes

    Restriction Enzymes and DNA Segments

    • Okazaki fragments are the single-stranded DNA segments created by some Restriction Enzymes (REs).

    DNA Joining Process

    • The process by which DNA molecules with complementary sticky ends are joined is called ligation.

    Types of Ends

    • Blunt ends are the types of ends left by some REs that can be re-ligated together with any other blunt-ended piece of DNA using DNA ligase.

    DNA Ligase

    • DNA ligase is the enzyme used to reseal DNA molecules with complementary sticky ends.

    Blunt-Ended DNA

    • DNA molecules with blunt ends cannot be joined by complementary base pairing, but instead, require DNA ligase for resealing.
