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.

Influence of substrate crystallinity and glass transition temperature on enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

Thore Bach Thomsen et al.

Summary: This work investigates the importance of the degree of crystallinity and glass transition temperature of PET on enzymatic degradation at elevated temperatures. The results show that the crystallinity affects the enzymatic product release rate, and different enzymes exhibit different activities at varying degrees of crystallinity. In addition, thermal annealing and water soaking have an impact on the properties of PET. These findings contribute to a better understanding of enzymatic PET degradation and the development of PET upcycling processes.

Mechanical Recycling of Packaging Plastics: A Review

Zoe O. G. Schyns et al.

Summary: The current global plastics economy is linear, but transitioning to a circular economy is crucial for reducing environmental impacts through degradation, reuse, and recycling. Mechanical recycling plays a key role in a sustainable plastic economy, but challenges such as high costs, mechanical property degradation, and inconsistent product quality need to be addressed.

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.
