A restriction map lists the locations of DNA sequences that are cut by a particular restriction enzyme for a piece of DNA, such as a chromosome or a plasmid. Restriction maps are important when generating a construct for experimental use. Digesting the DNA sequence with the restriction enzymes will result in fragmented DNA of predictable sizes, based on the restriction map, that allow a researcher to analyze if his or her construct was generated correctly when visualized using gel electrophoresis. Use the linear restriction map to predict where bands would be expected on a gel if a digest is performed using the specified restriction enzymes. Assume that there is enough restriction enzyme that every possible restriction site on each molecule of DNA will be cut.

A restriction map lists the locations of DNA sequences that are cut by a particular restriction enzyme for a
piece of DNA, such as a chromosome or a plasmid. Restriction maps are important when generating a
construct for experimental use. Digesting the DNA sequence with the restriction enzymes will result in
fragmented DNA of predictable sizes, based on the restriction map, that allow a researcher to analyze if
his or her construct was generated correctly when visualized using gel electrophoresis.
Use the linear restriction map below to predict where you would expect to see bands on a gel if a digest is
performed using the specified restriction enzymes. Assume that there is enough restriction enzyme that
every possible restriction site on each molecule of DNA will be cut.
