General description: | T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between neighboring 3′-hydroxyl- and 5′-phosphate ends in double-stranded DNA. Single-stranded nicks in double-stranded DNA are also closed by T4 DNA Ligase. Contents T4 DNA Ligase, supplied with 10x concentrated ligation buffer that includes ATP. |
Other Notes: | For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. |
Preparation Note: | Activator: Mg2+ (10mM), DTT Working solution: For dilution of the enzyme Roche recommends using a buffer containing the components of the storage buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl, 60 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 5 mM dithoerythritol, 50% glycerol (v/v), pH 7.5 (4 °C). |
Quality: | Quality Tested for the absence of deoxyribonucleases and exonucleases, according to the current Quality Control procedures. |
Specificity: | Heat inactivation: The enzyme can be inactivated by heating (65 °C, 10 minutes). |
Unit Definition: | One unit of T4 DNA ligase is the amount of enzyme activity that converts 1 nmol 32P from pyrophosphate into Norit-absorbable material in 20 minutes at +37 °C. One unit corresponds to 0.2 U determined in the exonuclease III resistance assay. Dilution buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM dithioerythritol, bovine serum albumin, 500 μg/ml, pH 7.6 (+25 °C). Volume Activity: 1 x 103 U/ml; 5 x 103 U/ml |
