Temperature adaptation of DNA ligases from psychrophilic organisms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-02)DNA ligases operating at low temperatures have potential advantages for use in biotechnological applications. For this reason, we have characterized the temperature optima and thermal stabilities of three minimal Lig E-type ATP-dependent DNA ligase originating from Gram-negative obligate psychrophilic bacteria. The three ligases, denoted Vib-Lig, Psy-Lig, and Par-Lig, show a remarkable range of ... -
