Ligases

Ligases are a class of enzymes that are involved in various biochemical reactions in cells. They play an important role in metabolism, cell differentiation, inflammation and other physiological processes. In this article we will consider the features of the structure and function of ligases, as well as their importance for human health and possible diseases associated with their dysfunction.

The main purpose of ligases is to control the number of molecules of enzymes and metabolites. For example, a kinase is a type of ligase that regulates the level of a protein involved in immune responses. Ligases also play an important role in the formation of complex protein structures such as cell walls and membranes. Some of these proteins, such as procaine, may be regulated by other enzymes
