[[File:Enzyme mechanism 2.svg|thumb|450px|Mechanism of enzyme catalyzed reaction.|320x320px]]Enzymatic polymerization can happen in a variety of ways, including:
[[Condensation polymerization|Condensation Polymerization]]: Enzymes such as lipases and proteases catalyze the step-growth polymerization of monomers by establishing ester, amide, or peptide bonds, releasing tiny molecules such as water or alcohol as waste.<ref>{{Citation |last=Kobayashi |first=S. |title=Enzymatic Polymerization |date=2012 |work=Polymer Science: A Comprehensive Reference |pages=217–237 |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-444-53349-4.00137-0 |access-date=2024-06-06 |publisher=Elsevier |doi=10.1016/b978-0-444-53349-4.00137-0 |isbn=978-0-08-087862-1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Douka |first1=Aliki |last2=Vouyiouka |first2=Stamatina |last3=Papaspyridi |first3=Lefki-Maria |last4=Papaspyrides |first4=Constantine D. |date=2018 |title=A review on enzymatic polymerization to produce polycondensation polymers: The case of aliphatic polyesters, polyamides and polyesteramides |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.progpolymsci.2017.10.001 |journal=Progress in Polymer Science |volume=79 |pages=1–25 |doi=10.1016/j.progpolymsci.2017.10.001 |issn=0079-6700}}</ref>
