In 1967, the enzyme DNA ligase was isolated. DNA
ligase binds together strands of DNA. Its discovery,
with the isolation of the first restriction enzyme 1970, paved
the way for the first recombinant DNA molecules to be
created by Paul Berg in 1972. In the recombinant DNA
process, ligase bonds the "sticky" ends of
complimentary DNA strands previously cut by a restriction
enzyme. [ Home ] [ The Details ] [ Reactions ] [ Interactions ] [ About Site ] [ Bibliography ] Copyright 1998 by team 24355 and Kayotic Development. |
