DNA-tension dependence of restriction enzyme activity reveals mechanochemical properties of the reaction pathway

Type II restriction endonucleases protect bacteria against phage infections by cleaving recognition sites on foreign double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with extraordinary specificity. This capability arises primarily from large conformational changes in enzyme and/or DNA upon target sequence recognition. I...
