Which of the following is not a widely adopted use of restriction enzymes in organic chemistry reactions?
A
Genetic mapping
B
Protein synthesis
C
Gene editing
D
DNA cloning
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of restriction enzymes: Restriction enzymes are proteins used to cut DNA at specific sequences, which is crucial in various genetic engineering techniques.
Identify the common applications of restriction enzymes: These include genetic mapping, gene editing, and DNA cloning, where they are used to manipulate DNA sequences.
Consider the process of protein synthesis: Protein synthesis involves the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain, which does not typically require the use of restriction enzymes.
Analyze the options: Genetic mapping, gene editing, and DNA cloning all involve DNA manipulation, which is a direct application of restriction enzymes.
Conclude which option does not fit: Since protein synthesis does not involve cutting or manipulating DNA with restriction enzymes, it is not a widely adopted use of these enzymes in organic chemistry reactions.
