Enzymatic Synthesis of Conducting Polyaniline in Micelle Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a peroxidase-catalyzed template-guided polymerization of aniline has been carried out in aqueous micellar solutions of surfactants, such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, (SDBS), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and polyoxyethylene(10) isooctylphenyl ether (Triton X-100).

TL;DR: In this article, a method for enzymatic polymerization is provided, which includes obtaining a reaction mixture including a monomer, a template, and an enzyme; and incubating the reaction mixture for a time and under conditions sufficient for the monomer to align along the template and polymerize to form a polymer-template complex.

Peroxidase‐Catalyzed Polymerization of 1‐Hydroxypyrene
TL;DR: In this paper, a peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of a polynuclear aromatic compound, 1-hydroxypyrene, was reported, and the fluorescence spectrum of the synthesized polymer showed a dramatic red shift compared to that of the monomer.
