Product Information
E. coli DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 5´-phosphate and the 3´-hydroxyl of two adjacent DNA strands in duplex DNA with cohesive ends. It is not appreciably active on blunt-ended substrates. E. coli DNA Ligase uses NAD as a cofactor and can be heat-inactivated. E. coli DNA Ligase is active at a range of temperatures (4° C – 37° C).

Product Notes
- Requires NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) as a cofactor, in contrast to other ligases which use rATP.
- Ligation of blunt-ended fragments is extremely inefficient. For ligation of blunt-ended fragments we recommend Blunt/TA Ligase Master Mix (NEB #M0367).
- Does not ligate RNA to DNA (4).
- This enzyme ligates only DNA fragments with cohesive termini.
