  • Ligation Enhancement
    Publication number: 20120283144
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for enhancing enzymatic ligation between nucleic acid fragments that relies on one or more small molecule enhancers having a size of less than 1000 daltons. For example, enhancement of ligation efficiencies are observed for double-stranded nucleic acid fragments that are blunt-ended, have a single nucleotide overhang at the ligation end, or have staggered ends compared to ligation under similar conditions in the absence of the one or more small molecule ligation enhancer. The use of small molecule enhancers for ligating nucleic acids results in an increased number of transformed host cells after transformation with the ligated molecules. This enhancement can be observed with chemically transformed host cells and with host cells transformed by electroporation.
