Enzymatic polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in water. Laccase, a copper-containing oxidoreductase derived from Pycnoporus coccineus, induced the polymerization at relatively low temperature (50°C) to give a polymer of high molecular weight. In the presence of 2,4-pentanedione, laccase efficiently mediated the vinyl polymerization at room temperature.
