In enzymology an asparagine-tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-asparagine + tRNAAsn AMP + diphosphate + L-asparaginyl-tRNAAsnThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-asparagine and tRNA(Asn) whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and L-asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn).This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds.
