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.

You should have one on standby.
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
This product was great for my teething Bully puppy, she, is an aggressive chewer. It gave her relief and kept her busy. In the 6 or 7 weeks that we've had it, it stood the test of time. She would chew 10 or 15 minutes at a time and nap from exhaustion. Overall, several hours of chewing. I must say this toy is not indestructable. In the end it was necessary to remove it and substitute another toy. The bully on the picture looks like a twin of my own pup. I did remove loose slivers and pieces that could be chewed off immediately. I am attaching a pic of the pre-disposal remnants for clarity. This is a tough toy but again, not indestructible.

Bought for my 8 month old lab. Dog toy said for aggressive chewers. Wrong! Super cute and feels heavy duty, but not for aggressive chewers.

Good for aggressive chewers!
Color: Blue
Smelled awful out of the package and it's way heavier that I expected, but it's one of the only toys that my puppy has not shredded to pieces.

Solid Toy NOT For Small Breeds
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Bought this for my Pug puppy because he's always chewing on our shoes and dragging them outside and in every which direction. He doesn't really damage them, it's more of just a pain to chase him around and try and actually get the shoe from him because he thinks we're playing. So, I looked on Amazon for a shoe toy and found this. It has a decent rating of 4.2 stars currently and it looks pretty sturdy. Well, when I got it, I realized that it's VERY sturdy. In fact, it's too sturdy; at least for a smaller breed like a pug. I know in the title is says for medium to large dogs, but when I looked at the demensions I thought it would be fine for him. He played with it for a few minutes, but it's just too big and VERY heavy for him. I was actually surprised how heavy it was. So, I decided to weigh it on a scale I have and it came out to 0.83 pounds. I actually thought it would read heavier than that (at least a pound), but that's what the scale said and I did it twice to be sure. So, if you have a small dog like a Pug, I wouldn't recommend this. Definitely a great toy for a German Shepherd or something in that category because of how heavy and thick it is. I'm guessing, even with a large breed of dog, this toy is probably going to last a long time. There's also a hole in the top where you can put peanut butter (or some kind if dog friendly treat) inside, which is really cool. I tried that with him as well, but he just wasn't interested. He's more into the Kong plushies. Anyway, in all, it's a pretty good product. Just not for a small breed dog. I'm giving it 4 stars. As you can see from the photos I uploaded, it's a rather small toy, but it's very solid and chunky. I also took a few pictures with a Pilot G2 pen next to it to better judge the size. Would buy from this seller again though if they had other toys for smaller breed dogs. Thank you. 💟 Sarah 💟
