ActionsT4 DNA Ligase
T4 DNA Ligase
Intact Genomics 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 joins DNA fragments with either cohesive or blunt termini as well as repair single stranded nicks in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids.
Quality Control
Quality control is performed following the production of each new lot of product to ensure that it meets the quality standards and specifications designated for the product. Each lot is repeatedly compared side-by-side with leading competitors to ensure our products outperform the competitor before product launching.
Intact Genomics T4 DNA Ligase displays up to 3-5X higher ligation efficiency than the nearest competitor.
Product Source

Contents & Storage
- T4 DNA Ligase
- 10x T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer (w/o ATP)
- 10 mM ATP
Store all contents at -20 °C.
Storage Buffer
50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50% Glycerol, pH 7.5 @ 25 °C
10x T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer (w/o ATP)
500 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM MgCl, 100 mM DTT, pH 7.5 @ 25 °C
Note
10x T4 DNA ligase buffer does not contain ATP. You need to add ATP separately.
Unit Definition
One Weiss unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1 nmol of 32P from pyrophosphate into Norit-absorbance material in 20 minutes under standard assay conditions.
Protocol
- Set up reaction buffer in a microcentrifuge tube on ice. Use a molar ratio of 1:3 vector to insert DNA.

- Gently mix the reaction and centrifuge briefly.
- For cohesive ends, incubate 16 °C for overnight or at room temperature for 30 min.
- For blunt ends, incubate 16 °C for overnight or at room temperature for 2 hrs.
- Heat inactivate at 70 °C for 15 min.
- Cool on ice and transform 2 µl of the reaction into 50 µl competent cells.
