To estimate the number of cleavage sites in a particular piece of DNA with a known size, you can apply the formula N/4n where N is the number of base pairs in the target DNA and n is the number of bases in the recognition sequence of the restriction enzyme. If the recognition sequence for BamHI is GGATCC and the λ phage DNA contains approximately 48,500 bp, how many cleavage sites would you expect?
