Overcoming catalytic barriers to reprogram acyltransferases for bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate hydrolysis.
The extensive use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has resulted in severe environmental pollution and ecological stress. Despite advances in PET recycling, current processes struggle to achieve high product value, as the complete conversion to terephthalic acid remains energetically demanding and economically ineffi...
