Results: This article focuses on the biocatalytic synthesis of δ-gluconolactone and ε-caprolactone and the analytical methods for the products. The researchers used a specific enzyme to catalyze the synthetic reaction of these two lactones. By optimizing the reaction conditions, they successfully synthesized a copolymer of δ-gluconolactone and ε-caprolactone. This copolymer shows promise in the development of environmentally-friendly plastics and other materials that can be easily broken down. The main finding of the article is that this biocatalytic synthesis method can synthesize copolymers of δ-gluconolactone and ε-caprolactone efficiently and with good controllability and tunability.
