Fokl endonuclease bound to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Computer model showing the restriction enzyme Fokl endonuclease (green) bound to DNA (orange, pink). Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, recognise specific nucleotide sequences and cut the DNA at these sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and are thought to have evolved as a defence against viral infection. From Planomicrobium okeanokoites.
