Summary:

Chemists, materials scientists, and other researchers describe catalysis in polymers that is driven by enzymes or other biological material. The topics include monomers and macromonomers from renewable resources, improved immobilization supports for Candida antarctica lipase B, the enzymatic polymerization of vinyl polymers, enzymatic synthesis of polyaniline and other electrically conductive polymers, polymerases for the biosynthesis of storage compounds, chiral polymers by lipase catalysis, the molecular modeling approach to enzymatic polymerization, and enzymatic polysaccharide degradation.
