Is a restriction enzyme the same thing as a restriction site?

A restriction enzyme is a protein that recognizes a specific, short nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA only at that specific site, which is known as restriction site or target sequence. More than 400 restriction enzymes have been isolated from the bacteria that manufacture them.

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIST

Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria (and other prokaryotes). They recognize and bind to specific sequences of DNA, called restriction sites.

Hope this helps, have a blessed day/night, stay safe, happy holidays, and merry christmas!
