T4 DNA Ligase (Fast)

T4 DNA Ligase (Fast) is produced by E. coli carrying T4 bacteriophage gene 30. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 5'-phosphate group and the 3'-hydroxyl group of double-helix DNA or RNA. This enzyme can repair single-strand breaks in double-stranded DNA, RNA, or DNA/RNA complexes, and can connect DNA fragments with sticky or blunt ends, but it is inactive for single-stranded nucleic acids. It is mainly used for cloning of restriction enzyme digestion products, gene site-directed mutagenesis, PCR product cloning, linear DNA self-looping, and repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. T4 DNA Ligase (Fast) requires ATP as a cofactor and completes the sticky end ligation reaction at room temperature in only 10 minutes.
