| light chain |
any of the smaller polypeptide chains of antibody molecules, two identical light chains occurring (with two identical heavy chains) in each immunoglobulin monomer. There are two types, designated k and l, both occurring in all immunoglobulin classes (in a ratio of about two k chains to one l chain in humans). Light chains have two homology regions of about 110 amino acid residues: one variable region (V L ) and one constant region (C L ). Called also L c. See immunoglobulin.

| ligase |
In biochemistry, a ligase is an enzyme that can catalyse the joining of two molecules ("ligation" or "gluing together") by forming a new chemical bond, with accompanying hydrolysis of ATP or other similar molecules. For example, an enzyme that catalyzed this reaction would be a ligase: The common names of ligases often include the word "ligase," such as DNA ligase, an enzyme commonly used in molecular biology laboratories to join together DNA fragments. ...

| ligature |
In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more letterforms are written or printed as a unit. Generally, ligatures replace characters that occur next to each other when they share common components. A letter with an accent mark is not usually called a ligature, though it would require a separate block of type just as a ligature does. ...
