DNA ligases seal 5′-PO4 and 3′-OH polynucleotide ends by way of three nucleotidyl transfer methods involving ligase-adenylate and DNA-adenylate intermediates. DNA ligases are necessary guardians of genomic integrity, and ligase dysfunction underlies human genetic ailment syndromes. Crystal structures of DNA ligases bound to nucleotide and nucle
