Restriction enzymes are generally named based on what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their source bacterium

The governing concept is the nomenclature of restriction endonucleases. Their names are usually derived from the organism in which the enzyme was discovered, especially the genus, species, and sometimes the strain or plasmid. For example, EcoRI is associated with Escherichia coli: “E” comes from the genus, “co” from the species designation, and the remaining notation identifies the strain or enzyme order. Therefore option D is correct. Colour, shape, and temperature are not the standard basis for naming these enzymes. Temperature may affect enzyme activity, and shape may describe a molecule, but neither explains names such as EcoRI, HindIII, or BamHI.
