Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A hydrophobic substrate, 10-hydroxydecanoic acid having two functional groups (−OH and −COOH) in the molecule, was polymerized by ester bond formation with the polyethylene glycol-modified lipase in a transparent benzene solution. The polymer of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid was linearly elongated under a quite mild condition.
