id: GO:0009036
name: Type II site-specific deoxyribonuclease activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates and 3' hydroxyls. Cleavage is dependent on the presence in the DNA of a specific recognition site; cleavage occurs at or very near this recognition site.
