Ligase enzymes are a class of enzymes that play a crucial role in many biological processes, particularly in DNA and RNA metabolism. These enzymes are involved in the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides, which is essential for the replication and repair of genetic material. In this video, we'll introduce you to the function and mechanism of ligases, including their role in metabolism and the chemical reactions they facilitate. We'll also discuss the different types of ligases such as DNA ligase and RNA ligase, You'll also be able to answer the question "What are Ligase enzymes?".

This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
