Method for producing polymer

摘要

Problem to be solved: To provide a method for producing a polymer having a desired composition in a high-yield, immediate and easy manner by continuously producing and reproducing acetyl-CoA without using a purified enzyme or expensive ATP. Solution: A method for producing a polymer includes a chemical thioester exchange reaction for forming an acetyl-CoA by reacting an acetyl-thioester with CoA, a monomer-producing reaction for forming a (monomer precursor)-CoA derivative by reacting at least one monomer precursor compound with the acetyl-CoA and a polymerization reaction for forming the polymer compriseing units of the monomer by polymerizing the (monomer precursor)-CoA derivative.
