Give difference between restrictions enzymes and recombinase enzymes.
Solution:
| Characteristics | Restriction enzymes | Recombinase enzymes |
| Definition | It can be described as the enzymes that recognises a particular sequence and makes cut in the DNA at specific sites. | Recombinases can be described as the enzymes that catalyse recombination events which are site specific within a DNA. |
| Types | Cre recombinase Hin recombinase Tre recombinase FLP recombinase | Type I, Type II, Type III |
| Role | It plays a major role in insertion of genes into plasmid vectors during gene cloning and other protein production experiments. | It plays a role in homologous recombination in various organism. |
