Structure-Guided Terminal Modifications Enhance the Efficiency of PET Degradation
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a widely used plastic whose persistence and improper disposal pose serious environmental and health risks. In this study, three novel PET hydrolases TbPETase, AbPETase, and AfPETase were identified from Thermoanaerobacterales, Acidimicrobiales, and Actinokineospora fastidiosa, re...
