When the DNA enzyme interacts with the cognate DNA, there is _______________(a) Increase in free energy(b) Reduction in free energy(c) Breakdown of the complex(d) RepulsionI had been asked this question in an interview.My enquiry is from Restriction Endonuclease in section Genomics : The Mapping and Sequencing of Genomes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Reduction in free ENERGY

The best explanation: On RESTRICTION endonuclease binding to COGNATE DNA there is a reduction in free energy to a greater EXTENT than that in case of non-cognate DNA. This additional energy is used to distort the sequence and produce a kink.
