| ligase | <enzyme, molecular biology> Major class of enzymes that catalyse the linking together of two molecules (category 6 in the I.U.B.C.E. Nomenclature) for example DNA ligases that link two fragments of DNA by forming a phosphodiester bond. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ligase amplification reaction | <molecular biology> Method for detecting small quantities of a target DNA, with utility similar to PCR.
