Accelerating Depolymerization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Using Chemically Modified Cutinase and Ionic Liquids
Enzymatic depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) [PET] has shown great promise as a biocatalytic route for closing the loop on PET plastic recycling. However, there is often a trade-off between the stability of hydrolytic enzymes and the activity of the enzyme toward PET in aqueous environments near the pol...
