Work in progress.
+Ligases are inhibited by high concentrations of ATP ([[Tessier, Brousserau &
+Vernet, 1986|biblio/3799962]] and many others).

On T4 RNL1:
- Using poly-A as substrate for circularisation, minimal length is 8, optimal
is 10, and then efficiency decreases slowly ([[Kaufmann, Klein & Littauer, 1974|biblio/4609429]]).
+ - Adenylated RNA is a better substrate for T4 RNA ligase.
+ Adenylation efficiency after 6h: C >> U ~ A > G ([[McLaughlin et al., 1985|biblio/3978074]]).
+ - Also used for single-strand DNA ligation ([[Tessier, Brousserau & Vernet, 1986|biblio/3799962]])
+ with PEG and hexamine cobalt chloride (HCC) as additives.
