E. coli DNA Ligase

E. coli DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between double-stranded DNA fragments containing juxtaposed 5'-phosphate termini and 3'-hydroxyl termini in the presence of the NAD cofactor. Both T4 DNA Ligase and E.coli DNA Ligase are used in various gene cloning experiments;  however, unlike T4 DNA Ligase, E. coli DNA Ligase can only catalyze ligation of cohesive end-containing DNA fragments via standard reaction conditions. E. coli DNA Ligase is supplied in a buffer containing 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.5), 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.
