DNAligaasinella
DNAligaasinella is a hypothetical DNA ligase used in educational and fictional biology contexts to illustrate the chemical logic of DNA nick sealing. The name combines the general term DNA ligase with a diminutive genus-like suffix, signaling its status as a model protein rather than a defined natural product. It is not described as existing in nature outside of teaching examples.
Function and mechanism: In the model, DNAligaasinella catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond at DNA
Structure and properties: In typical educational depictions, DNAligaasinella is shown as a modular protein with a
Context and uses: The enzyme serves as a teaching tool to explain ligation steps in plasmid construction,
