| DNA + H2O | the enzyme recognizes a degenerated sequence 5'-W/CCGGW-3' (W stands for A or T and / denotes the cleavage site). It belongs to a large family of restriction enzymes that contain a conserved CCGG tetranucleotide in their target sites. It requires binding of two target sites for the optimal catalytic activity | Geobacillus stearothermophilus | ? | - |

| dimer | in solution the BsaWI protein exists in a dimer-tetramer-oligomer equilibrium, but in the presence of specific DNA forms a tetramer bound to two target sites. Site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic experiments show that BsaWI is active as a tetramer and requires two target sites for optimal activity | Geobacillus stearothermophilus |
