The DNA sequence of type II restriction endonuclease recognition sites (eg EcoRI 5GAATTC3) and the binding sites of many other DNA binding proteins (eg. catabolite activator protein (CAP) binding site 5GTGAGTTAGCTCAC3) are not true palindromes but in double stranded form are similar and have two-fold rotational symetry.
