Background

T4 DNA ligase is a type of DNA ligase. DNA ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds at single-stranded DNA breaks in double-stranded DNA in vivo. DNA ligase has important biological functions in organisms. In DNA repair and recombination, DNA ligase plays a role in connecting gaps. In the process of DNA replication, the synthesis of the lagging strand is discontinuous, and DNA ligase connects the discontinuous DNA strand into a continuous DNA strand. It does not contain DNA endonuclease, exonuclease and phosphatase, and does not contain RNA enzyme.

Components

Storage Solution: 400U/μl T4 DNA Ligase、10 mM Tris-HCl、50 mM KCl、1 mM DTT、0.1 mM EDTA、50% Glycerol (pH 7.4 @ 25°C) 10*Reaction Buffer: 500 mM Tris-HCl、100 mM MgCl2、10 mM ATP、100 mM DTT (pH 7.5 @ 25°C)

Protocol

1、Set up the following reaction in a microcentrifuge tube on ice. Add the following components in sequence. Note that the table shows a ligation using1. a molar ratio of 1:5 vector to insert for the indicated DNA sizes.

Components

Volume 20μl

10* T4 DNA Ligase Buffer

2 μl

Vector DNA (such as pET-28a 5369bp)

50ng

Insert DNA (530bp)

25ng

Nuclease-free water

Up to 20 μL

T4 DNA Ligase

1μl

2. Gently mix the reaction through the up and down pipette, and inhale the liquid briefly.

3. For sticky ends, incubate at 16°C overnight or at room temperature for 10 minutes.

4. For blunt ends or single base overhangs, incubate overnight at 16°C or room temperature for 2 hours (alternatively, high concentrations of T4DNA ligase can be used for 10 minutes of ligations).

5. Chill on ice and transform 1-5 μl of the reaction into competent cells.

Guidelines

1. ATP is an essential cofactor in the reaction. This is in contrast to E. coli DNA Ligase, which requires NAD as a cofactor. 

2. If T4 DNA Ligase is to be diluted, it is recommended that it be diluted with 50% glycerol in storage buffer and stored at -20°C. 3. Room temperature ligation

Unit Definition

One unit is the amount of enzyme required to ligate 50% of the HindIII-digested λ DNA fragments [DNA 5´-end concentration of 0.12 µM (300 μg/ml)] within 30 minutes at 16°C in a 20 µl reaction system and in 1X T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer.

Too comfy and adorable 🤩
These socks are super soft and comfy, so cozy. These are the best feel good socks. The material is medium thick, so soft and fluffy. You may find a couple of fluff pieces here and there in your bed or floor after a while. They're still great socks to enjoy and lounge around in. I would suggest turning them inside out when you wash them. A good price for them too.

A little gift of comfort
Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal
Bought a pair back at Christmas as a stocking stuffer for my husband. I ordered more for him recently to wear while he goes through chemo & after effects for a little warmth and comfort. They fit well, are soft & just really nice. Perfect little gift and addition to get cozy and convalesce with 💛

Soft fluffy socks for a comfortable sleep
Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal, Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal
I am a woman with size 8.5 or 9 feet. I purchased the heather (salt and pepper) pair of these for men, because I was tired of socks that squeezed my toes together. So these have a few inches of extra space at the toes, which is more comfortable for me, since I got these to sleep in. I am including a photo of these next to my usual too tight socks for comparison. When I took off my usual highly elastic tight socks and put these on I literally breathed a sigh of relief. These will keep my feet warm without being constrained. These are neither thick nor thin, but fluffy and very soft. I suggest that anyone who gets these is careful about taking off the small plastic piece that attaches the two socks together. Don't just yank the two socks apart, use some scissors to carefully remove that little piece. Also I suggest hand washing these. Recommended for those of us ladies who are tired of socks that squeeze their toes, for sleeping, and around the house.
