   Description  
Bioo Scientific’s AIR™ Ligase was developed specifically for demanding Next-Generation RNA Sequencing applications. As can be seen in the figure below, AIR Ligase specifically ligates the adenylated 5´ end of an adapter to the 3´ end of RNA. The enzyme does not require ATP for ligation but does need an adenylated substrate, which dramatically reduces the amount of ligation between random RNA molecules. AIR Ligase is a truncated version of T4 RNA Ligase 2. Unlike the full length ligase, AIR Ligase does not ligate the phosphorylated 5´ end of RNA or DNA without the adenylated substrate making it an excellent choice for small RNA library preparation. Whether you plan to sequence microRNAs or perform directional mRNA-Seq, AIR Ligase will enhance your library preparations.
 
 
   Key Features  
CONCENTRATION: 200 U/uL

UNIT DEFINITION: One unit is defined as the amount of the enzyme required to give 50% ligation of a 17-mer adenylated oligonucleotide to a purified control RNA template in 30 minutes at 37°C.

SOURCE: Purified from an E. coli strain carrying T4 RNA Ligase 2 truncated overproducing plasmid.

STORAGE: Store at -20°C

SHELF LIFE: 1 year when stored under optimal conditions

STORAGE & DILUTION BUFFER: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM DTT and 50% Glycerol

QUALITY CONTROL: Enzyme preparations are routinely assessed for relative purity, activity and absence of RNase and DNase. In addition, this enzyme is tested for reactivity with adenylated linkers (catalog # 510205, 510305, 510405)

Validated on the Illumina Solexa GAII sequencing platform
