Definition of Biotechnology
• The study and manipulation of living things
for the purpose of making products that
benefit society
Think-Pair-Share
On the following slide you will watch a
video describing advances in
Biotechnology. While you are
watching the video, write down some
key products produced by this
industry.
Be ready to share

Biotechnology Video
• Biotechnology: A New Frontier
Significance of Basic Molecular Biology
• Discovery of DNA as the genetic code
• Understanding the processes involved in going
from DNARNAProtein
• Allowed us to develop molecular tools for
manipulating DNA for advancements in
▫ medical science
▫ Agriculture
▫ food industry
As Biotechnology developed, several
molecular tools were created
• Two main tools are
▫ Restriction enzymes
▫ Agarose gel electrophoresis

Introductory Activity
• Read excerpt and underline the letters
to every time it appears in the text.
• Draw a vertical line after the t.
• The vertical line represents a cut site.
• If you were to cut at that cut site with
scissors, how many text fragments would
you have? Write the number in the
designated spot on the note-taker.
Restriction Enzymes
• Cut at specific sites
along the DNA
• Each enzyme
recognizes a unique
cut site
• Reflect: How are
restriction enzymes
like the scissors in the
introductory activity?

Where are restriction enzymes found
in nature?
• Proteins found in
bacteria
• Protect bacteria
against DNA from
invading organisms
including viruses or
other bacteria
• Protect the bacteria
by cutting the foreign
DNA

Characteristics of the Restriction Site
• Four to six nucleotides in
length
• Symmetrical
5’
3’
▫ meaning the sequence for
both strands are the same 3’
when read in 5’ to 3’
direction
5’
• Palindromic Sequence
▫ Due to symmetry

Two Types of Cut Sites
• Blunt End
• restriction enzyme
cuts the two
strands of DNA
such that the ends
are even across
both strands

Two types of Cut Sites
• Sticky Ends
• restriction enzyme
cuts the two strands
in a staggered way
• This results in one
end of DNA being
single-stranded and
overhangs the other
strand

Restriction Fragment
• DNA after cut with restriction enzymes
• Fragments created differ in size depending
on where the restriction site is located
• The size of the fragment is defined by the
number of paired nucleotides along the
fragment
18

Determination of Fragment Size
• Can be determined by conducting agarose gel
electrophoresis
▫ Compare the DNA Fragments to known standards after they
migrate in the gel under an electrical current and are stained.
▫ What is the size of fragment in lane 2?
