Benchling Enzyme API
Represents a restriction enzyme from Benchling's global catalog of commercially available enzymes. Restriction enzymes (also known as restriction endonucleases) are molecular scissors that recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA at defined positions. Each enzyme has a recognition sequence (restrictionSiteBases), such as GAATTC for EcoRI, and cut site details (see CutSiteDetail) specifying where the enzyme cuts relative to that recognition site. Enzymes can produce blunt ends or sticky ends (overhangs) depending on their cut pattern. Users can organize frequently used enzymes into EnzymeLists for convenient access during cloning workflow design.
