Structural analysis of Sphingobium yanoikuyae P4 carboxylesterase reveals conformational and catalytic determinants for PET biodegradation

Functional Characterization and Catalytic Mechanism of an Amidase Involved in Acetaminophen Degradation from Acinetobacter sp.

Findings provide mechanistic insights into bacterial APAP biodegradation and highlight the practical application potential of strain DL27 and AdA, a novel amidase (AdA) identified through high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Engineering a thermostable MHET-active esterase through active-site compaction for efficient dual-enzyme PET depolymerization.

Efficient enzymatic recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is frequently hindered by the accumulation of mono-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET), a soluble intermediate that competitively suppresses PET hydrolase activity. Although MHET-hydrolysing enzymes can overcome this limitation, these enzymes often exh...

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester-degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume-associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti.

Investigating SM0281, an uncharacterized α/β-hydrolase from the symbiotic legume-associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, expands the diversity of structurally characterized polyester-active α/β-hydrolases containing lid domains and provides insights into the molecular determinants of substr...

Role of conserved regions in PETase-mediated degradation

Bioinformatic analysis revealed PET esterase-like proteins in R. pyridinivorans which contain Abhydrolase_3 domain having PETase like activity and the presence of PETase-like proteins in R. pyridinivorans is revealed.

Polyethylene Biodeterioration by Klebsiella Pneumoniae YRK111 and Functional Characterization of a Multicopper Oxidase with Variations in Catalytic Activity

Distribution and Catalytic Mechanism of a Novel Carboxylesterase Degrading Multiple Aryloxyphenoxypropionate Herbicides in Bacteria and Archaea

Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP), a widely used class of herbicides, pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. In this study, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens L1 was isolated as a novel degrader, completely degrading 97.42 mg/L cyhalofop-butyl within 12 h via ester bond hydrolysis to cyhalofop acid. A new carbo...
