Abstract Poly (α-l-lysine)(PLL) is a class of water-soluble, cationic biopolymer composed of α-
l-lysine structural units. The previous decade witnessed tremendous progress in the …

The present article comprehensively reviews the macromolecular synthesis using enzymes
as catalysts. Among the six main classes of enzymes, the three classes, oxidoreductases …

Over the past few years, amino acids (AA) have emerged as promising biomaterials for the
synthesis of functional polymers. Owing to the diversity of functional groups in amino acids …

Abstract Poly-L-lysine (PLL) is a water-soluble biopolymer consist of repeating unit of L-
lysine. It displays intrinsic non-antigenicity, antibacterial property, biocompatibility, and …

The oligomerisation of L-amino acids by papain was studied in a mixer ball mill and in a
planetary ball mill. The biocatalyst proved stable under the ball milling conditions providing …

Chemoenzymatic peptide synthesis is the hydrolase-catalyzed stereoselective formation of
peptide bonds. It is a clean and mild procedure, unlike conventional chemical synthesis …

Poly (amino acids) and polypeptides have the potential to contribute significantly to a
biomass-based and sustainable society, due to their biomass origin, functionality, and …

Mechanoenzymology is an emerging field in which mechanical mixing is used to sustain
enzymatic reactions in low‐solvent or solvent‐free mixtures. Many enzymes have been …

Polypeptides inspired by the natural functional and structural proteins present in living
systems are promising materials for various fields in terms of their versatile functionality and …

Introducing exogenous genes into plant cells is essential for a wide range of applications in
agriculture and plant biotechnology fields. Cationic peptide carriers with cell-penetrating and …
