Abstract
Enzymes represent the tools of the molecular biologist. They serve to manipulate DNA and RNA in vitro. Today, more than 200 different enzymes with various uses are offered by commercial manufacturers. Figure 1 shows a rough classification of enzymes by their principal actions. This chapter will provide examples from each group and protocols for their use.
