Quick Overview for E. coli DNA Ligase (ABIN3188192)
Application
Ligation (Lig)
-
-
Characteristics
- E.coli DNA Ligase is an NAD+-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between cohesive 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphoryl termini of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). This enzyme is also active on nicked DNA but is not effective for the formation of DNA-RNA or RNA-RNA hybrids.

Components
- Enzyme supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
-
Unit Definition
- One unit is defined as the amount of E. coli DNA Ligase that is required to give 50% ligation of HindIII-digested λ DNA in a total reaction volume of 20 μl in 30 minutes at 16°C in 1X E.coli DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer (concentration of 5' DNA termini is 0.12 μM [300 μg/ml]).

Comment
-
- Ligation of dsDNA with cohesive termini
- cDNA cloning of products from second strand cDNA synthesis experiments
- Alternative to T4 DNA Ligase when bluntend ligation is not required
- For ligation of bluntend fragments use T4 DNA Ligase (abm Cat. No. G467)
