BamHI cuts in this manner. 3' overhangs: asymmetrical cutting within the recognition site, but the result is a single-stranded overhang from the two 3' ends. KpnI cuts in this manner. Blunts: Enzymes that cut at precisely opposite sites in the two strands of DNA generate blunt ends without overhangs. SmaI is an example of an enzyme that generates blunt 13 14 https://enzymefinder.neb.com/ 15 Restriction maps A map showing positions of restriction sites in a DNA sequence 16 17 THANK YOU ANY QUESTION??
