Alphabetized List of Recognition Sequences

All restriction endonuclease recognition specificities available from New England Biolabs are listed below. For enzymes that recognize non-palindromic sequences, the complementary sequence of each strand is listed. For example, CCTC(7/6) and (6/7)GAGG both represent an MnlI (NEB #R0163) site.

All recognition sequences are written 5´ to 3´ using the single letter code nomenclature with the point of cleavage indicated by a "/".

Numbers in parentheses indicate point of cleaveage for non-palindromic enzymes.

For example, GGTCTC(1/5) indicates cleavage at:
5´ ...GGTCTCN/...3´
3´ ...CCAGAGNNNNN/...5´
