Abstract: DNA molecules cut with endonuclease R Eco RI can be joined at Eco RI cleavage sites by incubation with polynucleotide ligase. In order to define the optimum conditions for this reaction, linear Simian Virus 40 DNA molecules (SV40(LRI)) produced by endonuclease R Eco RI cleavage of SV40 form I DNA were joined using polynucleotide ligases specified by bacteriophage T4 and Escherichia coli. We have determined that the concentration of the substrate DNA molecules is the most important factor determining the distribution of covalently joined product molecules into a variety of circular and linear monomeric and oligomeric species.
