What is the risk of too much enzyme in restriction digestion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Star activity, i.e. cleavage at non-specific sites

Using too much restriction enzyme, especially when it raises the final glycerol concentration, can reduce enzyme specificity. This causes star activity, in which DNA may be cut at sites similar to, but different from, the intended recognition sequence. Complete failure of cutting is more commonly associated with too little enzyme, an incorrect buffer, or unsuitable incubation conditions. Exam tip: link excess restriction enzyme with non-specific cleavage or star activity.
