QM/MM Study of the Enzymatic Biodegradation Mechanism of Polyethylene Terephthalate

Sergio Boneta et al.

Summary: This study investigated the enzymatic biodegradation of PET at an atomic level using molecular dynamics simulations. Two hydrolases, Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 and leaf-branch compost cutinase, showed degradation activity towards PET. The study revealed a characteristic four-step degradation pathway for both enzymes, with LCC-ICCG variant outperforming PETase possibly due to its ability to work at higher temperatures and its intrinsic relationship with the crystallinity grade of the polymer.

Assessment of the PETase conformational changes induced by poly(ethylene terephthalate) binding

Clauber Henrique Souza da Costa et al.

Summary: A bacterium strain with the ability to degrade PET was identified, and its enzyme IsPETase catalyzes the hydrolysis of PET. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations were used to analyze structural changes of IsPETase induced by PET binding, suggesting strategies for increasing the enzyme's thermal stability. This study provides insights into the molecular binding mechanism of PET into IsPETase structure and a computational strategy for mapping flexible regions of the enzyme.

Reaction Mechanism of MHETase, a PET Degrading Enzyme

Alexandre V. Pinto et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the reaction mechanism of MHETase and found that it catalyzes the conversion of MHET in two steps, with a rate-limiting step activation barrier of 19.35 kcal/mol. The results supported the hypothesis that a transient tetrahedral intermediate mediates the reaction mechanism.
