Bio::Restriction::Enzyme

Details

Bio::Restriction::Enzyme 1.4 is libraries software developed by Bio::Restriction::Enzyme Team.
Bio::Restriction::Enzyme is a single restriction endonuclease (cuts DNA at specific locations).



SYNOPSIS

set up a single restriction enzyme. This contains lots of
information about the enzyme that is generally parsed from a
rebase file and can then be read back

use Bio::Restriction::Enzyme;

define a new enzyme with the cut sequence
my $re=new Bio::Restriction::Enzyme
(-enzyme=>'EcoRI', -seq=>'G^AATTC');

once the sequence has been defined a bunch of stuff is calculated
for you:

PRECALCULATED

find where the enzyme cuts after ...
my $ca=$re->cut;

... and where it cuts on the opposite strand
my $oca = $re->complementary_cut;

get the cut sequence string back.
Note that site will return the sequence with a caret
my $with_caret=$re->site; returns 'G^AATTC';

but it is also a Bio::PrimarySeq object ....
my $without_caret=$re->seq; returns 'GAATTC';
... and so does string
$without_caret=$re->string; returns 'GAATTC';

what is the reverse complement of the cut site
my $rc=$re->revcom; returns 'GAATTC';

now the recognition length. There are two types:
recognition_length() is the length of the sequence
cutter() estimate of cut frequency

my $recog_length = $re->recognition_length; returns 6
also returns 6 in this case but would return
4 for GANNTC and 5 for RGATCY (BstX2I)!
$recog_length=$re->cutter;

is the sequence a palindrome - the same forwards and backwards
my $pal= $re->palindromic; this is a boolean

is the sequence blunt (i.e. no overhang - the forward and reverse
cuts are the same)
print "bluntn" if $re->overhang eq 'blunt';

Overhang can have three values: "5'", "3'", "blunt", and undef
Direction is very important if you use Klenow!
my $oh=$re->overhang;

what is the overhang sequence
my $ohseq=$re->overhang_seq; will return 'AATT';

is the sequence ambiguous - does it contain non-GATC bases?
my $ambig=$re->is_ambiguous; this is boolean

print "Stuff about the enzymenCuts after: $can",
"Complementary cut: $ocanSite:nt$with_caret orn",
"t$without_caretn";
print "Reverse of the sequence: $rcnRecognition length: $recog_lengthn",
"Is it palindromic? $paln";
print "The overhang is $oh with sequence $ohseqn",
"And is it ambiguous? $ambignn";


THINGS YOU CAN SET, and get from rich REBASE file

get or set the isoschizomers (enzymes that recognize the same
site)
$re->isoschizomers('PvuII', 'SmaI'); not really true :)
print "Isoschizomers are ", join " ", $re->isoschizomers, "n";

get or set the methylation sites
$re->methylation_sites(2); not really true :)
print "Methylated at ", join " ", keys %{$re->methylation_sites},"n";

Get or set the source microbe
$re->microbe('E. coli');
print "It came from ", $re->microbe, "n";

get or set the person who isolated it
$re->source("Rob"); not really true :)
print $re->source, " sent it to usn";

get or set whether it is commercially available and the company
that it can be bought at
$re->vendors('NEB'); my favorite
print "Is it commercially available :";
print $re->vendors ? "Yes" : "No";
print " and it can be got from ", join " ",
$re->vendors, "n";

get or set a reference for this
$re->reference('Edwards et al. J. Bacteriology');
print "It was not published in ", $re->reference, "n";

get or set the enzyme name
$re->name('BamHI');
print "The name of EcoRI is not really ", $re->name, "n";

This module defines a single restriction endonuclease. You can use it to make custom restriction enzymes, and it is used by Bio::Restriction::IO to define enzymes in the New England Biolabs REBASE collection.

Use Bio::Restriction::Analysis to figure out which enzymes are available and where they cut your sequence.

Requirements:
Perl
Bio::Restriction::Enzyme 1.4 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.

Downloading Bio::Restriction::Enzyme 1.4 will take minute if you use fast ADSL connection.
