context_page_description: Neoschizomers are restriction enzymes that recognize the same nucleotide sequence as their prototype but cleave at a different site. In some special applications this is a very helpful feature.
  For example:Prototype MaeII A^CGT produces DNA fragments with a 2-base 5' extension
  Neoschizomer TaiI ACGT^ produces DNA fragments with a 4-base 3' extension
  Prototype ApaI GGGCC^C produces DNA fragments with a 4-base 3' extension
  Neoschizomer Bsp120I G^GGCCC produces DNA fragments with a 4-base 5' extension
  There are also other pairs of neoschizomers.
  Neoschizomers are a subset of isoschizomers.
