Degree of polymerisation, fraction and pattern of acetylation change the material and biological properties of chitosan. Here, the authors show that enzymes can N-acetylate fully deacetylated chitosan to replicate the natural control over acetylation pattern not found in chemically produced chitosan allowing more control over properties.
