The restriction enzymes XhoI and SalI cut their specific seq
The restriction enzymes XhoI and SalI cut their specific sequences as shown below:
Part A: Can the sticky ends created by XhoI and SalI sites be ligated? Yes or No?
Part B: Can the resulting sequences be cleaved by XhoI? Yes or No?
Part C: Can the resulting sequences be cleaved by SalI? Yes or No?
| XhoI | 5\'-C | TCGAG-3\' |
| 3\'-GAGCT | C-5\' | |
| SalI | 5\'-G | TCGAC-3\' |
| 3\'-CAGCT | G-5\' |
Solution
XhoI and SalI generate compatible sticky ends and therefore they can be ligated together. However the recombinant site that is generated can not be digested by either enzyme afterwards.
PART A YES
PARTB NO
PART C NO
