Ligase is a type of enzyme that facilitates the joining of DNA strands by forming a phosphodiester bond. It is essential in DNA replication and repair processes, catalyzing the covalent linkage of adjacent nucleotides. In biochemistry, ligases enable the sealing of nicks in double-stranded DNA to maintain genome integrity.
