What is it about?

This review analyzes more and deeper strategies and material technologies widely used in multi-enzyme cascade platforms for engineering polymer materials, as well as their potential industrial applications, to provide an update on current trends and gaps in the one-step synthesis of materials using catalytic enzymes.

Why is it important?

The one-step synthesis of polymers with highly sequencecontrolled enzymes is a strategy employed to provide enzymes with higher catalytic activity and thermostability in material sustainability.

Perspectives

Enzyme-catalyzed chain growth polymerization reactions using activated monomers, protein–polymer complexation techniques, covalent and non-covalent interaction, and electrostatic interactions can provide means to develop formulations that maintain the stability of the enzyme during complex material processes.
