DNA Ligase

DNA ligase is an enzyme that plays a key role in DNA replication and repair. It is responsible for joining separate pieces of DNA together by creating phosphodiester bonds between the two strands of the molecule. In this way, it helps to ensure that genetic information is accurately and efficiently passed from cell to cell during replication and also helps to repair potential damage to the molecule. It is essential in the establishment and maintenance of the integrity of DNA and cell function, and thus holds immense significance to the cellular processes of all living organisms.
