Definitions for "Ligation"
The formation of a phosphodiester bond between two adjacent bases separated by a single-strand break. Catalyzed by DNA ligase.
The joining of two linear nucleic acid molecules by the formation of phospho-diester bonds. In cloning experiments, a restriction fragment is often ligated to a linearized vector molecule using T4 DNA ligase.
Joining of DNA fragments to produce a single DNA molecule. Ligases are enzymes which perform this reaction. Fragments of plant DNA are ligated into bacterial plasmids during the cloning of probes for use for RFLP analysis.
(surgery) tying a duct or blood vessel with a ligature (as to prevent bleeding during surgery)
The surgical process of tying off an anatomical channel, often a blood vessel, preventing the flow of blood. Also used with a tubal ligation, tying off the fallopian tubes preventing the exchange of ova to the uterus.
The process of closing a blood vessel or duct by tying it off.
The process of attaching an archwire to the brackets on your teeth.
A process where an archwire is attached to the brackets on your teeth.
The application of a band or bandage.
see Rubber band ligation.
The act of binding, or the state of being bound.
That which binds; bond; connection.
To tie or bind with a ligature; to close; to seal.
