T4 RNA Ligase
Opis
Thermo Scientific T4 RNA Ligase catalyzes the ATP-dependent intra- and intermolecular formation of phosphodiester bonds between 5'-phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl termini of oligonucleotides, single-stranded RNA and DNA.
The minimal substrate is a nucleoside 3',5'-biphosphate in intermolecular reaction and oligonucleotide of 8bases in intramolecular reaction.
Applications
- RNA 3'-end labeling with cytidine 3',5'-bis [alpha-32P] phosphate
- Joining RNA to RNA
- Synthesis of oligoribonucleotides and oligodeoxyribonucleotides
- Specific modifications of tRNAs
- Oligodeoxyribonucleotide ligation to single-stranded cDNAs for 5' RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends)
- Site-specific generation of composite primers for PCR
