Introduction
Outline -found in e. coli -is a type II restriction endonuclease/enzyme -explain restriction enzymes---cut DNA -explain differences between type II and others -works in presence of Mg(2+) -cuts specific section of DNA
Overall Structure
EcoRV endonuclease is a dimer made up of two monomers. Each monomer depicted is shown in green and purple.
Binding Interactions
The interactions that hold this protein together are aided by the interaction of Mg2+ atoms. They hold together the active site of the dimers. This is a charge-charge interaction, since the Magnesium has a 2+ charge. The oxygen atoms also have a partial negative charge which interactions with this positive charge.
