Description

Description:
E. coli DNA Ligase is a NAD+-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between complementary 3′-hydroxyl and 5′-phosphoryl termini of dsDNA. The enzyme works best with cohesive dsDNA ends and is also active on nicked DNA. Blunt ends can be ligated in the presence of condensing reagents such as polyethylene glycol or Ficoll®. A 10x Reaction Buffer is provided with the enzyme.

Source:
