Restriction endonucleases which recognize and cut same recognition sequences are known as
-
- isoschizomers
- isozymes
- isoaccepting endonucleases
- abzymes
Correct Option: A
Restriction endonucleases that recognize the same sequence are isoschizomers. The first example discovered is called a prototype and all subsequent enzymes that recognize the same sequence are isoschizomers of the prototype. For example, Sph I (CGTAC/G) and Bbu I (CGTAC/G) are isoschizomers of each other. Isoschizomers are pairs of restriction enzymes specific to the same recognition sequence.
