Best Answer

In a ligation reaction, the speed of the reaction is determined by the concentration of the substrate. PEG in a ligation reaction is a complex hydrophobic molecule that takes up most of the space in the reactions crowding the aqueous DNA and ligase. The less space available for DNA and ligase makes the reaction much more efficient.
