Abstract
Chitinase-catalyzed copolymerization of an N,N′-diacetylchitobiose oxazoline monomer (1) with an N-acetylchitobiose oxazoline monomer (2) has been investigated. Catalysis of chitinase derived from Bacillus sp. showed close polymerizability of these two comonomers, giving rise to the corresponding copolymer. The degree of N-deacetylation (DDAc) of the product was controlled by varying the comonomer feed ratio. In contrast, catalysis of chitinase from Serratia marcescens showed different reactivity of the comonomers. Thus, homopolymerization of monomer 2 was preferentially occurred at the beginning of the reaction and copolymer was hardly obtained.
