PolyPEGA with predetermined molecular weights from enzyme-mediated radical polymerization in water

The preparation of acrylic polymers with predetermined molecular weights using metalloenzymes as catalysts, ascorbic acid as reducing agent and alkyl halides as initiators is reported. The mechanism of polymerization resembles an ARGET ATRP process.
