What is the main purpose of ligation buffer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Providing suitable pH and ionic conditions for the ligase enzyme

A ligation buffer maintains the suitable pH and ionic environment required for DNA ligase activity. It often contains essential ions such as \(Mg^{2+}\) and cofactors such as ATP that support joining of DNA fragments. Burning DNA or forming a cell wall is not a function of a ligation buffer. Exam tip: In enzyme-based reactions, a buffer primarily maintains optimal pH and provides required ions.
