What are DNA ligases?
Posted March 26, 2024

Answer

DNA ligase is a family of enzymes that catalyze the ligation reaction, a process that involves joining together various DNA strands. During this process, DNA ligase specifically helps in joining the breaks in the DNA’s phosphodiester backbone, which occur while recombination and replication take place.
