PPMC with a high Mn of up to 6.0 × 104 g mol−1 can be readily afforded under the catalysis of an immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym-435). The result sounds attractive, as presently the low catalytic efficiency is known as the main restriction for the industrialization of enzyme catalysis.
