Taq DNA Ligase

Taq DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond in duplex DNA containing adjacent 5′-phosphoryl and 3′-hydroxyl termini, using NAD+ as a cofactor. The ligation will occur only if the oligonucleotides are perfectly paired to the complementary target DNA and have no gaps between them; therefore, a single-base substitution can be detected. Taq DNA Ligase is active at elevated temperatures (45°C-70°C) Product IncludesTaq DNA Ligase10X Taq DNA Ligase Buffer with NAD+
