Gene Restriction Vector Enzymes Cut At  Specific Recognition

Original cut with restriction enzymes at 
specific recognition sites. Restriction enzymes cleave the 
sugar-phosphate backbone to 
generate sticky ends (complementary overhangs). Scientists will often cleave the vector and gene with 
two different ‘sticky end’ restriction endonucleases (double digestion) to ensure 
the gene is inserted in the correct orientation and to prevent 
the vector from re-annealing without the desired insert.
