What happened to Ligase enzyme if keep at room temperature?

02 July 2020 0 3K Report

Last night, the fridge (-20°C) in our laboratory didn't work well. It was not cooling and the temperature rose up to room temperature. The DNA ligase kept in that fridge. Nobody notices until next morning.

Is it still okay to use that enzyme?
