Ambion® T4 RNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester linkage between a 5'-phosphoryl-terminated nucleic acid donor and a 3'-hydroxyl-terminated nucleic acid acceptor. Substrates include RNA, DNA, and oligonucleotides. One tube containing 500 U (5 U⁄μL) is provided along with 10X Reaction Buffer. The enzyme can be used for tagging the 5' ends of mRNA with oligonucleotides for mapping studies (RACE), 3'-end labeling RNA molecules, and circularizing RNA and DNA molecules.
