Document Summary

Will reseal compatible sticky ends (sticky ends that will hybridize together) and much less efficiently blunt ends (because it is not likely that compatible blunt ends are found together) Requires an energy source (usually atp, but can be nadh) Mix ends that are compatible (ends that are cut by the same re will have compatible sticky ends) When mixed together, the sticky ends will anneal with some efficiency (initial non-covalent hybridization, weakly held together) Dna ligase will recognize these ends and will reseal the nicks in the presence of atp: ligase takes the nicks and reforms covalent bonds (this is why energy is needed) Ligase requires 5" phosphates to stick the dna back together. Use hybridization techniques to identifies tissues or cell lines that express yfg. Now we have to inserting yfg into a plasmid. Purify your dna after the digest: often by electrophoresis.

The natural function of a DNA ligase enzyme is:

What happens in the reaction when the temperature shifts to 55Â°C during cycling?

	the DNA polymerase will carry out DNA synthesis by extending the annealed primers
	the DNA polymerase will finish DNA synthesis

	the primers anneal to the single-stranded regions of the DNA
	the primers anneal to the double-stranded regions of the DNA

During cycling, what occurs when the temperature is at 72Â°C?

	the primers anneal to the double-stranded regions of the DNA
