 BamHI is a restriction endonuclease which recognises the sequence 'GGATCC' in a DNA strand. This enzyme cuts away from the symmetry centre in the 'GGATCC' sequence and this therefore results in fragments with sticky ends . Restriction endonucleases such as BamHI are particularly useful when carrying out restriction digests of DNA.
