## POD Documentation:
=head1 NAME
Bio::Restriction::Enzyme::MultiCut - A single restriction endonuclease
=head1 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;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module defines a restriction endonuclease class where one object
represents one of the distinct recognition sites for that enzyme. The
method L<others|others> stores references to other objects with
alternative sites.
In this schema each object within an EnzymeCollection can be checked
for matching a sequence.

=head2 Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.
