DpnII restriction endonuclease family explained

Symbol:DpnII
DpnII
Pfam:PF04556
Pfam Clan:CL0236
Interpro:IPR007637

In molecular biology, the DpnII restriction endonuclease family is a family of restriction endonucleases which includes DpnII from Diplococcus pneumoniae. These enzymes recognise the double-stranded DNA unmethylated sequence GATC and cleave before G-1, where it encompasses the full length of the protein.[1]
