Propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism for how this Marti enzyme converts its substrate into product? Please give me the answer in details

Explanation / Answer

This enzyme is a restriction endonuclease which cuts both the strands of DNA within the specific sequence. The recognition ,palindromic sequence which is specific fo this enzyme is-
