[Creative Biogene] T4 DNA Ligase

[Creative Biogene] T4 DNA Ligase

 

 

Cat.No.

EMQZ1404

 

 

Description

T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between juxtaposed 5' phosphate and 3' hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA or RNA. This enzyme will join blunt end and cohesive end termini as well as repair single stranded nicks in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids.

 

Applications

• Cloning of restriction fragments• Joining linkers and adapters to blunt-ended DNA
