Term Name:	serine-tRNA ligase activity
Synonyms:	L-serine:tRNASer ligase (AMP-forming), serine translase activity, SerRS activity, seryl-transfer ribonucleate synthetase activity, seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase activity, seryl-transfer RNA synthetase activity, seryl-tRNA synthetase activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + L-serine + tRNA(Ser) = AMP + diphosphate + L-seryl-tRNA(Ser). Also catalyzes the formation of L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) from tRNA(Sec), the special tRNA for selenocysteine.
