The third step is the nucleophilic attack of the adjacent 3'-hydroxyl group to form a phosphodiester bond and eliminate AMP 1974 6.5.1.2 NAD+ + [DNA ligase]-L-lysine = [DNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + beta-nicotinamide D-nucleotide (1a) - 6.5.1.2 [DNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + 5'-phospho-(deoxyribonucleotide)m = 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-(deoxyribonucleotide)m + [DNA ligase]-L-lysine (1b) -
