Type I enzymes cleave at sites remote from a recognition site.

Type II enzymes cleave within or at short specific distances from a recognition site. The most common Type II enzymes are HhaI, HindIII, and NotI, that cleave DNA within their recognition sequences.

Type III enzymes cleave at sites a short distance from a recognition site.

Type IV enzymes target modified DNA, Eg. Methylated, hydroxymethylated and glucosyl hydroxymethylated DNA.

Type I enzyme - Cut DNA at random far from their recognition sequences.

Type II enzyme - Cut DNA at defined positions close to or within their recognition sequences.

Type III enzyme - Cleave outside of their recognition sequences.

What are the types of Types ll endonuclease and why another type of endonuclease can not cut that recognition site?
