In biochemistry, a ligase is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond, usually with accompanying hydrolysis of a small pendant chemical group on one of the larger molecules or the enzyme catalyzing the linking together of two compounds, e.g., enzymes that catalyze joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, etc.
5. DNA ligases are enzymes specialized in tying the complementary DNA chains that form the DNA double helix. These enzymes are used in recombinant DNA technology to insert pieces of DNA cut by restriction enzymes into other DNA molecules undergoing the effect of the same endonucleases.1  Genetic Engineering Review-Image Diversity: DNA ligases..
