Restriction enzymes are essential tools in molecular biology because each recognizes a unique DNA sequence and precisely cuts the double-stranded DNA molecule into smaller, distinct fragments.
Alu I is a Restriction Endonuclease purified from an Arthrobacter luteus strain that carries the Alu I gene.
The restriction enzyme Alu I recognizes the DNA sequence A G^C T and optimally cleaves the DNA at 37°C when used with 10X Assay Buffer
