Preset Boxes

DNADynamo is set up with several preset 'Enzyme Boxes' These include...

Common which contains enzymes sold by 3 or more suppliers

CommonBlunts, a subset of 'Common' containing only enzymes which generate 'Blunt Ends',

Common6+ a subset of 'Common' which contains enzymes whose recognistion site is 6 bases or longer

Prototypes which contains one of each prototype enzyme.

commonPrototypes which contains the intersection of common and prototypes.

uniqueSites which contains the most common representative enzyme for each unique site

Dynamo a subset of uniqueSites which contains enzymes which generate blunt ends or non-degenerate sticky ends

'MyEnzymes' which could be used to store the enzymes you actually have in your lab (or of which you also know the location of in somebody elses lab!)

If you have updated DNADynamo from a previous version - you can press the 'RESET' button to update the predefined enzymes boxes to the definition contained in the current update

To set which enzyme box to use for operations such as displaying a graphical map of restriction sites or displaying the number of times each enzyme cuts, use the 'Enzyme Box Selection Button' button. You can use menu option 'Restriction Enzymes' -> 'Set Default Enzyme Box' to set which box is selected when you open a new window or start the software
