Abstract excerpt
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) pollution is an emerging environmental hazard because of its recalcitrance to degradation. This study proposes an in silico mutagenesis of LipKV1 from Acinetobacter haemolyticus for improved lipase-PET interaction, using the PET-degrading Thermobifida cutinase (TfCut2) as the structural benchmark. Results revealed that lid deletion on LipKV1 (LipKV1_LE) facilitated the entry of...
