آنزیم ای کو آر ۱

Also known as Restriction endonuclease, type II, EcoRI, Restrct_endonuc_II_EcoRI, IPR004221

EcoRI (pronounced "eco R one") is a type II restriction enzyme isolated from Escherichia coli. It cleaves DNA double helices into fragments at specific sites, and is also a part of the restriction modification system. The enzyme's name originates from the species from which it was isolated: "E" denotes generic name (Escherichia), "co" denotes species name (coli), "R" represents the strain (RY13), and the "I" denotes that it was the first enzyme isolated from this strain.
