In enzymology a D-alanine—D-alanine ligase (EC 6.3.2.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 2 D-alanine ADP + phosphate + D-alanyl-D-alanineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-alanine whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and D-alanyl-D-alanine.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
