Why is it important to keep enzyme volume low but activity sufficient in restriction digestion setup?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To get complete digestion while keeping glycerol low

Restriction digestion requires enough enzyme units to cleave all accessible recognition sites in the DNA, but adding a large volume of enzyme stock is not automatically better. Commercial enzyme preparations commonly contain glycerol and storage salts. Excessive carryover of glycerol, especially beyond the recommended final concentration, can promote nonspecific or star activity and may disturb the reaction conditions. Therefore the reaction is planned with a sufficient number of enzyme units in the smallest practical volume, while keeping the correct buffer, temperature, time, and DNA amount. This balances complete digestion with specificity. The purpose is not to make DNA into protein, dry the gel, or freeze the sample, so A is correct.
