Isoschizomers are pairs of restriction enzymes specific to the same recognition sequence. The term is derived .
The first enzyme discovered which recognizes a given sequence is known as the prototype; all subsequently identified enzymes that recognize that sequence are isoschizomers. For example, the prototype SphI (CGTAC/G) has the isoschizomers BbuI (CGTAC/G) and PaeI.
