Abstract excerpt
The cutinase-like enzyme from the thermophile Saccharomonospora viridis AHK190, Cut190, is a good candidate to depolymerize polyethylene terephthalate (PET) efficiently. We previously developed a mutant of Cut190 (S226P/R228S), which we designated as Cut190* that has both increased activity and stability and solved its crystal structure. Recently, we showed that mutation of D250C/E296C on one of the Ca2+ -binding...
