Biochemical and structural characterization of DNA ligases from bacteria and archaea

DNA ligases seal breaks in DNA using a co-factor that supplies adenylate for the reaction. We review biochemical and structural characterization of DNA ligases from bacteria and archaea, highlighting novel co-factor variants that act as inhibitors and/or non-natural substrates of the enzymes.
