NAME

Bio::Restriction::Enzyme::MultiCut - A single restriction endonuclease

SYNOPSIS

# set up a single restriction enzyme. This contains lots of
# information about the enzyme that is generally parsed from a
# rebase file and can then be read back

use Bio::Restriction::Enzyme;

DESCRIPTION

This module defines a restriction endonuclease class where one object represents one of the distinct recognition sites for that enzyme. The method others stores references to other objects with alternative sites.

In this schema each object within an EnzymeCollection can be checked for matching a sequence.
