Conformational Selection in Biocatalytic Plastic Degradation by PETase

Boyang Guo et al.

Summary: In the biodegradation of plastics, the conformational selection of enzymes and substrates plays a crucial role. Studies utilizing molecular dynamics simulations and experimental validation have shown that enzyme engineering can alter enzyme conformation, affecting its binding capability with substrates. Matching enzyme and substrate conformations can enhance the efficiency of plastic hydrolysis.

Mechanism-Based Design of Efficient PET Hydrolases

Ren Wei et al.

Summary: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used synthetic polyester in textile fibers and packaging materials, which contributes significantly to global solid waste and environmental plastic pollution. Enzymatic PET recycling and upcycling have emerged as potential solutions, but there are limitations such as unbalanced enzyme-substrate interactions, limited thermostability, low catalytic efficiency at high temperatures, and inhibition by degradation intermediates. Protein engineering has been successful in addressing these limitations and can be applied to other mass-produced polymer types for biotechnological waste disposal.
