Abstract in brief
- The polyester hydrolase PHL7 has been identified as an effective enzyme for breaking down amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) found in post-consumer plastics.
- The study reveals the enzyme's structure in complex with terephthalic acid and examines how various mutations affect its ability to degrade PET and its thermal stability.
- Key mutations, particularly L210T, enhance PHL7's activity, enabling it to degrade PET at a rate of 20 µm/h, while other mutations influence its thermal properties.
