While restriction enzymes were first observed by Linn and Arber, the first Type II restriction endonuclease (HindII), which is the type used in genetic engineering because it cuts at specific recognition sites, was isolated and characterized by Hamilton O. Smith, Kent W. Wilcox, and Thomas J. Kelly in 1970 from Haemophilus influenzae. For this discovery, Smith shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1978. Kary Mullis invented PCR.

Explanation:
The Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) occurs in the mitochondrial matrix in eukaryotes. The enzymes for the cycle are soluble in the matrix. The inner membrane houses the electron transport chain and ATP synthase. Cytoplasm is the site of glycolysis, chloroplast stroma is the site of the Calvin cycle. Thus, the matrix is the correct location.
