Restriction enzymes use a 24 dimensional coding space to recognize 6 base long DNA sequences
Restriction enzymes recognize and bind to specific sequences on invading bacteriophage DNA. Like a key in a lock, these proteins require many contacts to specify the correct DNA sequence. Using information theory we develop an equation that defines the number of independent contacts, which is the di...
