T4 RNA Ligase catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of single-stranded DNA or RNA onto the 5´-phosphoryl termini of single-stranded DNA or RNA. T4 RNA Ligase also catalyzes the addition of [5´-32P] nucleoside 3´,5´-bis (phosphate) onto single-stranded RNA. T4 RNA Ligase is purified from a recombinant E.coli strain.
