Introduction
T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between 5’-phosphate and 3’-hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA or RNA. The enzyme repairs single-strand nicks in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids, joins DNA fragments with either cohesive or blunt termini. The T4 DNA Ligase requires ATP as a cofactor.
The enzyme is available in 250 and 1,250 unit sizes at a concentration of 5 U/µL. The enzyme is supplied with a 10× T4 Ligation Buffer.
Applications
- Routine subcloning.
- Recircularization of linear DNA.
- Library construction.
- Linker ligation.
