Description
Conventional DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between juxtaposed 5′-phosphate and 3′-hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids. All DNA ligase require ATP as a co-factor. However, the CapeBio Express DNA Ligase has been demonstrated to ligate DNA molecules without using ATP as a co-factor, enabling it to function in any buffer background. Moreover, it has shown to be a highly stable enzyme that exhibits activity even after three years of freeze-thawing.
The Express DNA Ligation Kit is designed for these applications:
- Cloning of restriction enzyme- generated DNA fragments
- QuickChange or Site-directed mutagenesis
- Cloning of PCR generated products
- Amplified fragment length polymorphism
- Self-circularization of linear DNA
- Joining of double-stranded oligonucleotide linkers or adapters to DNA
- Nick repair in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids
