The ligation of DNA fragments is a key step in many molecular biology applications, in particular in molecular cloning procedures. DNA ligases catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 3^ hydroxyl and 5^ phosphate of adjacent DNA residues. Always KEEP the T4 ligase at -20°C (or on ice).
