A linking enzyme essential for DNA replication; catalyzes the covalent bonding of the 3' end of one DNA fragment (such as an Okazaki fragment) to the 5' end of another DNA fragment (such as a growing DNA chain).

Dna End Fragment Ligase Linking Enzyme Essential Replication

DNA ligase is an enzyme that functions as a 'glue' to covalently connect DNA fragments, playing a crucial role in DNA replication and repair.

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA fragments by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds.
