Abstract excerpt
Discovered in 2016, the enzyme PETase, secreted by bacterial Ideonella Sakaiensis 201-F6, has an excellent hydrolytic activity toward poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) at room temperature, while it decreases at higher temperatures due to the low thermostability. Many variants have been engineered to overcome this limitation, which hinders industrial application. In this work, we systematically compare PETase...
