Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to immobilized enzyme compositions and methods for cleaving polynucleotide molecules including, for example, double-stranded DNA. Immobilized enzymes may comprise, for example, an enzyme (e.g., a type IIS restriction endonuclease, an RNAP, a capping enzyme), a support (e.g., a magnetic bead), and optionally, a linker disposed between the enzyme and the support. In some embodiments, methods may include contacting an immobilized enzyme with a polynucleotide substrate to form reaction products, separating the immobilized enzyme from the reaction products, and optionally reusing the immobilized enzymes in one or more subsequent reactions. preparing a library for sequencing.
