Question
Chapter 3, Problem 19E
Summary Introduction
To determine: The restriction enzymes would interfere with the production of β-galactosidase by the host cell.
Concept introduction: The plasmid pUC18 is a circular plasmid that contains multiple restriction sites. In pUC18, the enzyme β-galactosidase is encoded by the lacZ gene. The β-galactosidase cleaves the colorless compound X-gal to a blue-colored product.
