Abstract
MANY specific endonucleases (restriction endonucleases) have been isolated and recognition sequences have been determined for a number of them1. The isolation of a new specific endonuclease, BamHI, from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H has recently been described2. We have determined the recognition sequence of BamHI and find that it cleaves the two-fold rotationally symmetric sequence 
at the positions indicated by the arrows generating fragments with cohesive termini.
