MultiCut: restriction enzyme buffer search: Multi-cut is a database of restriction endonuclease buffers. It finds compatible buffers for a list of enzymes that you want to use in a multiple restriction endonuclease digest. Multi-Cut searches through activity data from the catalogs of several major restriction endonuclease manufacturers and finds buffers that will work with all of the endonucleases in the reaction.
