Abstract
A number of T4 DNA ligase mutants exhibiting enhanced ligation activity at temperatures above 37° C. compared to the wild-type ligase were engineered, characterized, and selected via gel electrophoresis of ligation products from a standard ligation assay. T4 Ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 5′ and 3′ ends of complementary cohesive ends or blunt ends of duplex DNA, a process that is vital to numerous molecular biology processes including cloning and sequencing.
